People between the ages of 19 and 26 can be vaccinated for human papillomavirus (HPV) from 31 January by GGD Brabant-Zuidoost. The vaccination was also offered to boys for the first time in 2022.
HPV is a very contagious virus, according to the GGD Brabant-Zuidoost. Eight out of ten people would have been infected at some point. There are more than one hundred variants of HPV, of which types 16 and 18 are the most dangerous.
Although the body usually clears the virus itself, some variants of the virus can cause cancer of the mouth, throat, and genitals, among other things. Every year, 1500 people in the Netherlands get cancer from HPV. These are mainly women, i.e. 1100, compared to 400 men.
“In our region, more than 60,000 young adults will receive an invitation in the coming weeks,” says Hellen van Poppel on behalf of GGD Brabant Southeast. “Of course we hope for a high turnout. After all, not only are you protecting yourself from six types of cancer, but your partner as well. And vaccinations are free this year,” says Van Poppel.
For good protection, two vaccinations five months apart are necessary. An appointment can be made via hpvafspraak.nl.
