Vaccination numbers rise: More children in Saxony vaccinated against HPV!
In Saxony you can see a pleasant trend: the vaccinations against HPV-related cancer point up again. According to radiochemnitz.de , the HPV-Eerschwungs rose 10 percent in the previous year. Around 27,100 girls and boys received a first vaccination dose. Despite this increase, the current number is impressive 46 percent below the level before Corona pandemic. This is a call to the parents to offer their children the chance of a safe future?
DAK health has recently published numbers that indicate a dramatic decline in HPV vaccinations. In Saxony, the first vaccinations fell by 52 percent, while the decline on a national average is 37 percent. This decline explains
The decline in the boys is particularly striking: 2 to 17-year-olds and 9 to 14 year olds were recorded of 67 and 52 percent. In comparison, the decline for girls in both age groups was 43 percent. The permanent vaccination commission (STIKO) recommends the HPV vaccination for girls since 2007 and also for boys, but the declines make you take notice. "We urgently need to intensify the information about cancer provision," says DAK state chief Change. An HPV infection can trigger different types of cancer, including cervical cancer and others in the mouth-throat room. Every year around 6,250 women and 1,600 men fall ill in Germany on this cancer, a gradual danger that can be reduced by vaccination. Information campaigns, as initiated by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, show initial successes, and in 2024 one expects over a million prescribed vaccine. The numbers for the vaccination rate are alarming. Between 2014 and 2018 there were an average of around 724,000 HPV vaccinations per year in Germany. An increase was recorded in 2018 by the extended vaccination recommendation, but in 2022 the number fell to only about 443,000 vaccinations. A decline that is not only due to the pandemic: A global lack of vaccines has also left its mark on how Insight health determined. The DAK-Gesundheit assumes the costs for HPV vaccination consultations in pediatric and adolescent practices since April, which is a further step towards improving the situation. Vaccination is also taken over for all up to 17-year-olds and young adults up to 26 years. A great advantage to strengthen the preventive thoughts in society and to take the fear of possible costs. Overall, it can be seen that the path to the higher vaccination rate is still long, but through targeted education and commitment to doctors and families you could achieve an increased decline in HPV incidence. Every step counts for the health of our children. special declines in boys
