[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last month, the National Cancer Insitute confirmed through their own study that 1 shot is as effective as 2.  This was following up on a 2022 study out of Kenya that also showed 1 was sufficient.  The WHO recommends one shot.

If I had a daughter with autoimmune issues, I'd err on the side of one shot rather than two or three.[/quote]

Oh interesting! See, this is why I come to DCUM. I feel that a lot of doctors are not up-to-date on these things. I will bring this up to my daughter‘s doctor. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION.

I wouldn't trust a statement with no references on DCUM without further research; sometimes it's correct, often it's not. In this case, the above does seem to be generally accurate:

"A clinical trial run by the National Cancer Institute seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent infection with the human papilloma virus is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer."

https://www.who.int/news/item/20-12-2022-WHO-updates-recommendations-on-HPV-vaccination-schedule

"WHO now recommends:

A one or two-dose schedule for girls aged 9-14 years
A one or two-dose schedule for girls and women aged 15-20 years
Two doses with a 6-month interval for women older than 21 years"

I agree this is worth discussing with her doctor.[/quote]
