Ministry of Health Debunks HPV Vaccine Infertility Hoax

The Ministry of Health (Kemkes) confirms that the viral HPV vaccine or human papilloma virus that is injected into female children causes infertility as a hoax or fake news.

“The HPV immunization or vaccine has been confirmed to be safe and generally does not cause serious reactions after immunization.” Explained Dr. Muhammad Syahril, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health Ministry of Health release quoted by MediaBanten.Com, Thursday (12/10/2023).

There are reactions at the injection site that can include redness, swelling and mild pain. Appears one day after immunization and can last one to three days.

“General reactions such as fever can also appear after immunization, he said. Syahril.

HPV immunization aims to prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV infection, and its success can even reach 100% if two doses are given to girls aged 9-13 years.

Indonesia’s commitment to preventing cervical cancer is proven by the inclusion of HPV immunization in the national immunization program starting in 2023.

To date, 135 countries provide HPV immunization in their national immunization programs. Among them are Malaysia, Singapore, America, England and France.

Two doses of HPV immunization are given to girls before graduating from elementary school/MI or equivalent. Immunizations are provided during School Child Immunization Month (BIAS) activities every August at schools.

Quoted from the siloamhospital.com website, human papillomavirus or HPV is a type of virus that can cause infections on the surface of the skin, generally in the form of warts in several areas of the body, such as the shoulders, face, legs and genital area.

Apart from that, the HPV virus is a virus that is the main cause of cervical cancer in women. Even so, HPV virus infection can attack anyone, both men (20-24 years) and women (16-19 years).

HPV is a type of infectious virus that can be transmitted through sexual activity. Even though sometimes it doesn’t cause symptoms at first, when this virus manages to survive for a long time in the body there is a risk of warts appearing on the surface of the skin. Not infrequently this disease is also associated with gonorrhea and syphilis.

The cause of HPV infection is the human papillomavirus types 6, 11, 16, and 18 which often cause genital warts and cervical cancer.

Infection due to HPV initially does not cause any particular symptoms, but cervical cancer or warts will form after several years of exposure to the HPV virus. (Rosyadi)
