VACCINATION AGAINST HIGH CARCINOGENIC TYPES OF THE HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS IN THE PREVENTION OF CERVICAL CANCER: REALITIES IN WESTERN UKRAINE
Journal Title: Праці Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка - Year 2018, Vol 52, Issue 1
Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is a serious demographic and medical problem in Ukraine, which is the main cause of the death of women in reproductive age in our country. WHO experts recognized the possibility of complete elimination of CC on the globe under conditions of implementation of primary measures (vaccination against papillomaviruses) and secondary (cytological screening) prevention. However, there still are many opponents to vaccination and ill-informed people, which limits the current possibilities of preventative measures in Ukraine. In 2017, for the first time in Lviv region, 4,500 doses of Cervarix vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV)were purchased for the vaccination of girls aged from 12 to 14. This opened new opportunities for studying the tolerance of vaccination, interest and awareness among young people on these issues.
