🎗️HPV VACCINATION🎗️
The HPV vaccine is a powerful prevention tool that protects against the virus responsible for most cervical and other related cancers. ATG Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting early vaccination, ensuring that every young person has the chance to live a healthy, cancer-free life.
Protecting Against 6 Types Of Cancer
HPV Vaccination is not solely focused on Preventing cervical cancer but extents its protective benefits to encompass a spectrum of HPV-related malignancies These include:
Anal
cancer
A cancer that forms in the tissues of the anus. Over 90% of anal cancers are caused by HPV.
Cervical
cancer
Cancer of the cervix (the lower, narrow end of the uterus that opens into the vagina). Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV.
Penile
cancer
A rare form of cancer that forms on or under the foreskin or on other parts of the penis. Most penile cancers (about 63%) are caused by HPV.
Vaginal
cancer
Cancer that forms in the tissues of the vagina (the muscular canal leading from the cervix to the outside of the body). Most vaginal cancers (about 75%) are caused by HPV.
Vulvar
cancer
This cancer occurs on the outer surface of the female genitalia (vulva). Most (about 69%) vulvar cancers are caused by HPV.

Why HPV Vaccination Matters?
- Protects both girls and boys from future health risks
- Safe, well-researched, and recommended by WHO and doctors worldwide
- Prevents 90% of cervical cancer cases when given on time
- Reduces the emotional and financial burden of cancer treatment
- Helps build herd immunity and protects the community
- A simple vaccine today can save lives in the future
🎀Recommended Dosing Schedule 🎀
For individuals aged 9 to 14 years: Two doses administered at 0 and 6 months provide optimal immunity.
For those above 14 years or immunocompromised: A three-dose regimen is recommended, with doses administered at 0, 2, and 6 months to ensure robust protection against HPV-related diseases.
🛡️Myths:-

🛡️Facts:-
✅ It protects boys and men from HPV-related cancers (anal, penile, throat, etc.) and reduces overall virus spread.
✅ Rigorously tested and safe; mild soreness/fever is common, severe reactions are extremely rare.
✅ No scientific evidence links it to infertility or birth defects; clinical trials showed similar pregnancy/defect rates in vaccinated vs. placebo groups.
✅ You could have a different HPV strain; vaccination protects against the most dangerous ones, complementing past/future screening.
