“HPV, we call it ubiquitous, right? So someone will acquire an HPV infection, within a couple of years of becoming sexually active. Most people’s immune system can clear that infection. For an unlucky few, and we don’t know why some aren’t able to clear the infection, the infection can become persistent and then grow and change the cells in your body so that they become precancerous and then develop into cancer. And so if we give you the HPV vaccine, we prevent infection by the types of HPV that cause the most cancers. There’s nine types covered in that vaccine.”

“It is important to note that for these HPV related cancers that affect men, we don’t have effective screening treatments. So for women, we have the opportunity to screen and detect cervical cancer early. But for men, we don’t have- or for women who get- have an HPV infection that affects their head and neck, the throat area. We don’t have a way to screen and then treat that early, and instead it develops into cancer. And then you have treatment afterwards. But we can, if you actually get the vaccine, then you prevent the development of that cancer in the head and neck area.”

“The CDC recommends three vaccines, at age 11 to 12: HPV, Tdap and Meningococcal. We’ve started to recommend as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, starting the HPV vaccine at age 9 because it’s two doses, and it’s really important that, teenagers get exposed to the vaccine before they’re exposed to the virus, because that’s the best way we can protect them from the virus as well as then, in turn, protect them from these HPV-related cancers.”

STORYLINE:
New research suggests the HPV vaccine is preventing head and neck cancers in men, as well as cervical cancer in women, but fewer boys than girls are getting the shots.

Jasmin Tiro at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center discusses how vaccination can prevent cancers caused by HPV, how common HPV is, and what the age recommendations are for parents to get their children vaccinated.
