Most people who were raised in western countries, were vaccinated against the most severe illnesses during their childhood. Among those essential vaccinations are the following: tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis and hepatitis.<\/p>\n

Many grown ups did not get the following vaccinations as a matter of routine: hepatitis, pertussis, measles and other infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Have you still got the records that document the vaccinations you received? Let us check whether you still need any vaccinations or booster inoculations, since not every vaccination provides lifelong protection.<\/p>\n

The following vaccinations have to be repeated once in a while.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We have known for some years that cervical cancer is an infectious disease. There are very many different viruses from the group of human papilloma viruses, which are primarily transmitted sexually.<\/p>\n

Who is at risk?<\/h3>\n

At the age of 20 to 30 years about 60% of the population might have had contact with those viruses.<\/p>\n

The viruses can integrate themselves into the cells of the cervix. Therefore they get rid of their outer cover and integrate into the cells genotype \u2013 at first to reproduce and spread. Sometimes these are inactive for a while but cause cancerous growth later on. That happens especially with the viruses of the high-risk group.<\/p>\n

Vaccination against the infection<\/h3>\n

There are currently three different preparations with which we can vaccinate against HP viruses. The vaccination causes the formation of antibodies against HPV in the vaccinated person, namely against the outer shell of the viruses. The antibodies are located in the<\/p>\n

Three medications exist which we can inoculate. The vaccination causes the production of antibodies against HPV, actually against the outer cover of the virus. The antibody will be located in the mucous membrane of the cervix and will destroy the viruses before they can integrate into the cells.<\/p>\n

However, they do not have an effect on those viruses that already are integrated into the cells. That means the vaccination is only a protection for those who are not infected yet.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown a significant success of vaccinating young women of the age from 9 to 26 who were HPV negative and had not had sexual intercourse before. A relevant decrease of cell changes in the years following the inoculation was observed.<\/p>\n

The examination in order to take precaution of cervical cancer will still be necessary. Experts believe that your protection will be at about 70% if you are immunized before you had the first contact with the viruses. If the vaccination took place after the first sexual events there would still be a protection probably more than 30%.<\/p>\n

9-fold vaccine fights most of the known viruses<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, the currently available vaccines do not cover all existing viruses. However, since April 1, 2016, there is a new 9-way vaccine that covers most of the known viruses.<\/p>\n

Useful vaccination<\/h3>\n

The HPV vaccine has been on the market since 2006. It is recommended for girls and boys.<\/p>\n

Vaccinations take place over the course of six months:<\/p>\n
