Pre-teens need only two HPV shots, not three, CDC recommends
(Reuters) - Two doses of a vaccine that protects against cervical and several other types of cancer are enough for 11-to 12-year-olds, rather than the previous three-shot regimen, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday.Vaccines against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, Merck & Co Inc's Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Cervarix, have been available for years, but acceptance by the public has been slow."Safe, effective, and long-lasting protection against HPV cancers with two visits instead of three means more Americans will be protected from cancer," CDC Director Tom Frieden said in a statement.

CDC says younger children only need 2 HPV shots, not 3 to protect from cancers
2 hours 10 minutes agoNH1.comChildren 11- to 14-years old only need two doses of the HPV vaccine to protect against cervical cancer and other cancers caused by the human papillomavirus, instead of the previously recommended three doses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Clinical trials showed that two doses for younger children "produced an immune response similar or higher than the response in young adults (aged 16-26 years) who received three doses."Therefore, CDC recommends that teenagers and young adults, ages 15 through 26, who start the vaccinations later still stick to the three-dose regimen.
