Did you know that there are only two vaccines that can prevent cancer?
In the Philippines, cervical cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death of women in the Philippines. This type of cancer is caused by HPV or the Human Papillomavirus.One of these is the Human papillomavirus vaccine which protects our bodies against cervical cancer—a fairly recent medical development, and a much-needed breakthrough for women’s health.
In a recent episode of Okay, Doc, I took the opportunity to talk to doctors, pharmacists, and experts about the HPV vaccine. Our guests were unanimous about the facts: cervical cancer is highly preventable, and the HPV vaccine is safe. To save our loved ones from such trials in the future, our course of action should be to protect ourselves today. Dr. Stephanie Mesina-Veneracion, one of our guests, encouraged viewers about the efficacy of the vaccine, revealing that even those already diagnosed with cervical cancer can still take the vaccine to help with their treatment.And compared to the cost of treatment that follows cervical cancer diagnosis, the HPV vaccine also protects us from taking a significant financial hit, Dr.
Our guests agreed that if there was one silver lining about the recent pandemic, it was our renewed trust in immunization and vaccines, and it showed that if we truly worked together for the sake of public health, we could protect our community and prevent losing our friends and family to disease. It also paved the way for a new perspective on vaccination programs, showing us what the health sector truly needs in the fight against preventable diseases.
As a fellow mother, sister, tita and friend, I consider no step too big or too small in our fight for a cervical cancer-free future.What I learned from Tatang: Employees and colleagues share stories about SM’s Henry Sy Sr.Your walkthrough to achieving stunning portraits with vivo V29 5G’s Aura Light 2.
