–
Dr. Adrian WIENER, Vice-President of the Committee for Health and Family of the Chamber of Deputies, Ana MĂIȚĂ, President of the Mothers for Mothers Association and Prof. Alexandru RAFILA, Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies, spoke openly about the HPV vaccine, exclusively for DC NEWS, during the HEALTH ROMANIA 2021 event.
Val Vâlcu asked Adrian Wiener if he would vaccinate his children against cancer with the HPV vaccine, and the deputy’s answer was not long in coming. Adrian Wiener firmly stated that he had vaccinated his daughter and recommended this to the parents of the girl’s colleagues.
“Yes, I personally do. My daughter is vaccinated with all three doses of HPV, of course. The deliberation did not even come into question, it did not exist. The Nobel Prize was awarded for the causal relationship between chronic HPV infection and oncogenesis. “The cervix is very clear, there is no doubt. And I have recommended to many parents of my little girl’s colleagues to do the same,” said Adrian Wiener.
Ana Măiță, about HPV vaccination in boys. “I had to buy the 4 doses from the pharmacy”
Delighted by the answer of the doctor and the deputy Adrian Wiener, Ana Măiță intervened in the discussion and said that she vaccinated both boys and raised the issue of vaccine costs, given the fact that the boys are not included in the compensated scheme.
“I want to connect with a very important word, namely equity. Equity in access to treatment, in access to prevention and that is why I want to congratulate Mr Wiener who said he vaccinated his teenage daughter.
I vaccinated my children too! My children are boys, and because the boys are not included in the national HPV vaccination program, I had to buy the four or four doses of vaccine they needed from the pharmacy. I had this financial possibility, but the vaccine is not exactly cheap and not all families can afford to buy this vaccine for their boys, but all boys, all children have the right to protection against cancer such as that caused by HPV infection, so I think that equity should be in any kind of construction of the reform of the medical system in Romania, as an essential principle. Equity in access to prevention and health services. It is super important “, added Ana Măiță.
How many doses are applied, depending on age
Val Vâlcu: I vaccinated my daughter too!
Ana Măiță: There are two doses for children up to 15 years old and three doses for those over 15 years old!
Alexandru Rafila agrees with Ana Măiță. “Age-differentiated compensation is the solution”
“Ana Măiță is absolutely right and I believe that this universal access to prevention services, including the vaccine, at least for some vaccines such as HPV must be the subject of vaccine compensation policies, because the national vaccination program is still with quite a few problems.The higher the load of this program, the less it will perform well for me to be a diplomat.
And then I think that the differentiated compensation according to the age category is the solution for other vaccines as well, not only for HPV “, added the doctor Alexandru Rafila.
