子宮頸がんの原因となるヒトパピローマウイルス（ＨＰＶ）の感染を防ぐワクチンについて、副反応を検討する厚生労働省の専門部会は１２日、平成２５年（２０１３年）以降中断していた接種の積極的勧奨の再開を正式に認めた。
Regarding the human papillomavirus HPV infection prevention vaccine, the expert committee of Japans Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare officially approved on the 12th the resumption of active vaccination recommendations, which had been suspended since 2013 Heisei 25, for this virus that causes cervical cancer.
。
The committee concluded that since the effectiveness has been confirmed and there are no particular safety concerns, it is reasonable to end the suspension.
。
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is also considering support measures for women who missed the opportunity for free vaccination after the period for routine vaccination had passed, following the temporary suspension of proactive recommendations.
。
At the meeting that day, the latest research results from the UK were presented, showing that vaccinating at ages 12 to 13 reduces the incidence of cervical cancer by 87%.
。
Vaccination for the younger generation is highly effective, with a 34% reduction observed in the 14 to 18 age group.
。
However, in reality, there are people who develop symptoms after vaccination.
。
When I think about people who are suffering from various symptoms, such as pain throughout their entire body, just imagining it is truly terrifying.
。
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is not only supporting these people, but also strengthening training at 84 cooperating medical institutions nationwide, participating in diagnoses, and enhancing collaboration between medical institutions and local governments that accept consultations.
。
We also decided to update the content of the flyers for ourselves and for parents based on the latest evidence.
。
Im thinking of suggesting to my daughter that she stop by the hospital on her way home from university to listen to an explanation about vaccinations.
。
There are probably people who are still waiting to get vaccinated, but regardless of what the research says, some may feel uneasy about getting the vaccine. So, when the time comes, I think Ill let my child decide for themselves.
