Mara Calista – deputy head of PNL Neamț: “The vaccine against HPV saves lives!” –

The HPV vaccine saves lives! I encourage, once again, that parents, teenagers and young people do not avoid this vaccine that can save their lives and health, is the message that the deputy head of PNL Neamț, Mara Calista, puts, with the aim of making the population aware, of the conditions in which Romania is among the EU countries with the highest mortality rate from breast cancer. “Romania has the highest rates of breast cancer and mortality in the EU: the incidence is 2.5 times higher than the European average and the mortality rate is more than 4 times higher. In our country, at the moment, the HPV vaccine is included in the National Vaccination Program and can be given by family doctors.

These vaccines are free for girls and boys aged 11-18 and 50% reimbursed for women over 19.

I want to get this information out there because more awareness is needed that this solution exists that could be the difference between life and death!

It is our responsibility to actively engage in order to find the best solutions, as the teenagers who responded to the latest survey conducted by U-Report Romania (data in the link in the comments) told.

I will also be involved in the future to emphasize that it is essential that this vaccine is done by as many people as possible, so that there is a healthy young generation.“, provides Mara Calista.
