Cervical cancer remains a significant disease in the United States. Although the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been approved for those aged 9-26 years and for some individuals up to age 45 years, there are many circumstances in which health care professionals may not know whether the vaccine should be recommended, such as for patients with previous infection, health care workers, and those older than age 26 years. This article highlights the evidence that the HPV vaccine is a safe and highly effective way to prevent cervical cancer, with the strongest predictor of vaccine uptake being practitioner recommendation.
宫颈癌仍然是美国的一个重大疾病。尽管人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗已获准用于 9-26 岁人群,并且某些人可接种至 45 岁,但在许多情况下,医疗保健专业人员可能不知道是否应推荐接种疫苗,例如对于曾经感染过的患者、医护人员以及年龄超过 26 岁的人群。本文重点介绍了 HPV 疫苗是预防宫颈癌的安全且高效的方法的证据,疫苗接种率的最强预测因素是医生的推荐。
