Adults ages 27 to 45 advised to get HPV vaccination
Of course, they are which means more money for vaccine makers. The reason the vaccine was marketed to 11 year-olds, to begin with, was the fact that there are so many adults who already have a HPV virus and the vaccine would be useless to them. The only reason the new recommendation has come out is money.

I'm not sure. It might be worth a discussion with my doctor.
I don't know. Is there really benefit if you have been monogamous for a long time and already have high risk HPV?
I don't love Big Pharma, either, but I also haven't ever seen medical recommendations made solely to create profits for them. Recommendations are research based. In this case, it was a study of 3200 women ages 27-45 who were followed for 3.5 years. They found that getting Gardasil 9 was significantly beneficial (88% effective) in preventing persistent infection, precancerous lesions, and cancer caused by the HPV strains it prevents against.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 2:45 pm Of course, they are which means more money for vaccine makers.

Sometimes it just does happen that evidence-based recommendations will make money for a manufacturer. That's not a reason to doubt the evidence. Do you refuse all vaccines based on the fact that the manufacturers make money on them, therefore that must be the ONLY reason to recommend them?
That is one vaccine that my daughter did not get. I won't be getting it either.SolidlyAverage wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 4:07 pmI don't love Big Pharma, either, but I also haven't ever seen medical recommendations made solely to create profits for them.

Nope. f**k that. My kids won't get it either. I'm not against vaccines, but I feel like this is an instance where regular screening is the better way to go.

I don't think I will, not because it scares me, but I don't plan on having a different sexual partner in my lifetime.
I'm living life on the edge though, as I have already gotten my 11 yo DS vaccinated for it, 2 of the 3, & plan to get my other 2 children vaccinated when the time comes as well.
