Panel calls for less HPV vaccine for pre-teens
Pre-teens won't need as many doses of the HPV vaccine to guard against cervical cancer as previously thought.A government panel today says, pre-teens only need two doses of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil 9, instead of three doses.Also, instead of getting the shots within six months, health experts now say, the HPV vaccine can be spaced a year apart.

Advisory panel: Just two HPV vaccine doses needed for many children
Children who start getting vaccinated against the human papillomavirus virus before age 15 only need to get two doses, according to a new recommendation from government advisers.The previous guidance was for a three-shot regimen, but studies have shown that two doses work just as well.Experts predict that the simpler, more flexible timeline will result in higher rates of HPV vaccination, which has lagged among both girls and boys.

In a move that could simplify the logistics and cut the cost of routine human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, a federal vaccine advisory group today recommended reducing the number of doses from three to two for the preteen target group.Studies have shown that two doses afford as much protection as two doses, and health officials hope fewer doses could boost HPV vaccination levels in boys and girls, which lag behind other recommended immunizations.According to CDC numbers for 2014, only 39.7% of girls had received all three recommended doses and only 21.6% boys had gotten the full series.
