The following is from The Vaccine Reaction.
A growing number of parents in the U.S. are choosing not to vaccinate their adolescent children for human papillomavirus (HPV), according to a new study published in the June 2023 edition of the journal Pediatrics.
The study identified HPV vaccine uptake trends in an effort to develop strategies to combat increasing vaccine hesitancy.
The researchers found that the proportion of parents citing “safety or side effects” as a reason for opting out of the three-dose series increased significantly by 15.6 percent annually from 2010 to 2018.
Also topping the list of cited reasons for opting out of the vaccine were “Not necessary,” “safety concerns,” “lack of recommendation,” “lack of knowledge,” and “not sexually active.”
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the HPV vaccine targets the types of HPV that cause cervical cancer and some cancers of the vulva, anus, oropharynx, as well as HPV types associated with most genital warts.
“This would have been acceptable around 2006 when the vaccine was new, but now, it is shocking that people still think the vaccine may not be safe,” said study co-author and assistant scientist at Henry Ford Health in Detroit, Michigan Eric Adjei Boakye, PhD.
The study’s lead researcher, Kalyani Sonawane, PhD of UTHealth School of Public Health in Houston, Texas, said:
Our suspicion is that the rising safety concerns are probably being driven by [the] use of social media and people trying to find vaccine information online.
HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses and is considered to be the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States.
In over 90 percent of cases, HPV is harmless and clears up on its own.
Recent Study Suggests Single HPV Dose Provides Adequate Protection
CDC officials recommend HPV vaccination for boys and girls aged 11-12, but say that HPV vaccine can be given to children as young as nine years old.
As of 2020, about 75 percent of U.S. teens had gotten at least one dose of HPV vaccine in the two or three-dose HPV series, and almost 60 percent had completed the series.
However, preliminary results of a recent study suggested that just one HPV shot is over 97 percent effective in preventing infection, leading over 20 countries to revise their recommendations in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The study, which is not yet published, included a randomized double-blind controlled trial—the “gold standard” in research and medicine—where participants in the control group received meningococcal vaccine.
In 2022, the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization decided one dose of the three-dose series would suffice for adequate HPV protection, acknowledging that people are less likely to get all doses of a three dose HPV vaccine series. (Continued…)

I note – “participants in the control group received meningococcal vaccine.”
This is not a true placebo and as a result, the true safety profile of the HPV vaccine cannot be determined.
It matters not if a product is effective if it is not safe.
Thank you for making this very critical point.

Hey Ted fu
The pharma industry has alienated most of us. I will NEVER trust them again.
I enjoy watching pharma tv commercials. They have enough money to make beautiful, artistic productions. However, I steel myself against any messages they attempt to convey.
The HPV vaccine also had the most cases of adverse events reported to VAERS of any vaccine prior to the COVID shot. The COVID shot completely blew that out of the water.
This Article, And people have the right to concerned with getting all these Vaccines ? The HPV Vaccine is Basically a lab created Subunit-Protein created from Genetic material from different sources DNA ( rDNA ) Molecules Formed in a Lab. And in rare occasions in some other people’s DNA genome markers ( One genome that makes up a person’s many other genetic markers are responsible for several other metabolic protein’s ) Adverse metabolic results can happen in some people is right in side effects ! This is true with all medicine. Other examples severe Peanut Butter reactions or other with some people’s Genome and adverse protein reactions in those people’s adverse metabolic protein reactions. This info by Bill Andrews Rochester, IN. Most majority of people should be safe but truthfully it’s a roll of the Dice for some I agree ?
Earlier post more info Depending on adverse reaction in any Drug or food interaction ~ X, involving some Genetics = Adverse Metabolic DNA interactions protein’s —–> As, Cs, Gs, Ts = Metabolic adverse function outcome of DNA (rDNA) New Future Prophercy in genetics and medicine will have you getting a Pre- Genetics test with each person’s different As, Cs, Gs, Ts before getting any vaccine to pre check for adverse reactions before getting vaccines…= Smarty pants Chromosome checks !
This article and past replies = A chromosome bad adverse reactions to Medicines — > Vaccines or adverse food reactions can Fall in two categories . Spontaneous reaction = S –> P Where by S is the substrate and P is the product. Or Two. = Catalyzed reaction = S + C —> P + C Where is S is substrate ,P is product and C is catalyst…See Molecular De- Fusion ( C ) Copyright USA _ Wm. Andrews Rochester, IN.
