Vaccination for sexually transmitted diseases for children

On October 25, the Committee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States conducted a vote for the HPV Gardasil vaccination policy, also known as the papilloma vaccine, to avoid infectious diseases. Sexually transmitted, causes uterine and anal cancer as well as most oral and throat cancers for all boys 11 years of age and older.

13 members voted in favor, one member abstained. The proposal is awaiting final approval from the Director of CDC and secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

CDC recommends that girls and boys aged 11-12 should get 3 doses of HPV vaccine before having a opposite sex. The agency earlier issued a recommendation that allows children 9 to 26 years of age to be selected for vaccination.

'The new proposal marks an important step in protecting human health from cancer and related diseases , ' said Dr. Mark Feinberg, Director of Public Health.

However, the above policy faces fierce opposition from parents due to fear of vaccination encouraging children to have sex early.

Health has become a political issue when it was included in the presidential election campaign in 2012, in which some Republican candidates firmly protested.

Contrary to this point of view, health professionals support enthusiastically because it is an important tool in reducing the number of sexually transmitted diseases.

According to William Muraskin, an expert at the University of Queens in New York: 'If vaccinated against HPV before teenage men have sex, they also help protect gay or bisexual people, the group of people at risk. The muscle is highly infectious but is only detected when it's too late. '
