Article Synopsis
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes 4.8% of cancers and is the leading cause of cervical cancer; secondary prevention methods like PAP tests and primary prevention through vaccination can significantly reduce cancer incidence.
- In Italy, the HPV vaccine has been available to girls since 2008 and boys since 2017, but overall vaccination rates are declining.
- A study in Lazio Region revealed inconsistencies in vaccination services, such as limited hours and availability, suggesting that addressing these issues could enhance vaccine coverage and patient outreach.
