By: Diane M. Harper, et al. September 2010 We read with interest the conclusion that Chris Bauch and colleagues1 presented, indicating that the incidence of cervical cancer would be very unlikely to increase as a result of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. The investigators conclude that screening coverage in a population is unlikely to decline to levels […]

By: Norma Erickson 31 August 2010 The following is a direct quote from a recently revised copy of “Cervical Cancer Prevention, Health Professional Version,” published by the National Cancer Institute (NCI): “The finding of HPV viral DNA integrated in most cellular genomes of cervical carcinomas supports epidemiologic data linking this agent to cervical cancer however, […]
Vaccine Hypersensitivity – Update and Overview
By: Philipp J. Fritsche, et al. Summary Concerns about possible reactions to vaccines or vaccinations are frequently raised. However, the rate of reported vaccine-induced adverse events is low and ranges between 4.8–83.0 per 100 000 doses of the most frequently used vaccines. The number of true allergic reactions to routine vaccines is not known; estimations […]
Synoptic Overview: Issues in Immunization Theory and Practice
Prepared by: Raymond Obamsowin November 2009 IMMUNIZATION THEORY ISSUES: Theory: Vaccination is the injection of antigenic material, such as pathogen derived foreigh proteins and toxic adjuvants into the body, to initiate a “learned” immune system response in order to prevent particular diseases. Memory T cells (cell-mediated immunity) and Memory B cells (humoral-mediated immunity) learn to […]
Effect of Human Papillomavirus 16/18 L1 Viruslike Particle Vaccine Among Young Women With Preexisting Infection
A Randomized Trial JAMA. 2007;298:743-753. Main Outcome Measures Presence of HPV DNA was determined in cervical specimins by a molecular hybridization assay using chemiluminescence with HPV RNA probes and by polymerase chain reaction using SPF10 primers and a line probe assay detection system before vaccination and by polymerase chain reaction after vaccination. We compared rates of […]
