Since 2018, the Gardasil vaccine, used in infection control at human papillomavirus (HPV) in adolescents and young adults has been replaced by a new version called Gardasil 9. Suspected of causing serious and potentially disabling side effects, its placing on the market has raised many concerns and close monitoring by the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM).
Reassuring results after 28 million injections
But in the United States, where Gardasil 9 has been available since 2014, two in-depth studies published recently in the scientific journal Pediatrics attest to its harmlessness. What reassure the most suspicious. The first study by epidemiologists from the CDC Atlanta consisted of examining all the side effects reported between 2014 and 2017, i.e. 7,244 adverse reactions for approximately 28 million doses of vaccine administered. No seriousness was noted in 97.4% of the cases.
The researchers explain that it was most often (in both sexes) headache, mild dizziness, nausea or a skin reaction at the site of the bite. They also discovered that the most serious cases resulted from a misdiagnosis or a lack of information in the patient’s medical record. Likewise, the causes of the two reported deaths “were not linked to vaccination”. According to epidemiologists, “the safety profile of HPV9 is favorable and comparable to that of its predecessor”, Gardasil. With the difference that the new version of the vaccine protects against 9 types of HPV, 5 more than “its predecessor”.
The second study involved monitoring 839,000 people vaccinated in 6 different centers for 2 years. Result: neither anaphylactic shock, nor autoimmune disease, nor vein thrombosis have not been observed. “We haven’t identified the slightest source of new security concerns, the researchers say. Although we detected several unexpected warning signals, none were confirmed by a subsequent assessment. ”
Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives HPV
HPV viruses can cause cervical cancer, anus, penis and throat. This is why the vaccine is recommended for adolescents aged 11 to 14, that is to say before the start of their sexual life.
Certain personalities testified in the media to support vaccination, as Marcia Cross, famous performer of Bree Van de Kamp in Desperate Housewives (2004-2012). Achieving a anal cancer, she revealed last June that her illness was linked to her husband’s throat cancer Tom mahoney, Both of whom are infected with the human papillomavirus. “I know that there are people who are ashamed, she had explained in the morning of the American chain CBS. Do you have cancer and above all should you be ashamed? Like you did something wrong, just because it got in your anus? Be serious ! You already have enough to cash. ”
