My Viewpoint:

HPV Vaccine

In 2006, all members of the FDA advisory committee recommended that Gardasil, an HPV vaccine, be approved for distribution in the US. The vaccine was developed by Merck and Co., is effective in preventing two types of HPV known to cause about 70% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide. The vaccine is being recommended as most effective when given to young girls between the ages of 11 and 12 years and as young as 9. The vaccine is also recommended for 13 to 21 year old females who have not been vaccinated. It is ideally given before girls and young women become sexually active. The three dose vaccine prevents four HPV types: HPV 16 and 18, which cause 70% of cervical cancers, and HPV 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts. The vaccine has been studied worldwide and has been found safe, with no serious side effects.

Health Policymaking in the U.S- Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine Research Assignment

There has been an increase trend in the rate of occurrence of oral cancers. We all have known and discussed with our patients the dangers of smoking and alcohol use as a potential source. A recently identified etiology is the HPV -16 virus. Early in the Republican primary debates there was heated discussion about Rick Perry?s mandate to have all girls vaccinated. Health advocates worried that the vaccine itself was stigmatized by some of the misleading information presented during the debates. What do you think? What do you know about this vaccine?

Please answer the following questions/areas in the research paper.
1. Background information on HPV including statistical information on the incidences of cervical and oral cancer in the United States that may be linked to this virus.
2. History of the vaccine ?name the two vaccines, manufacturers, time on the market, cost, availability
3. What is the federal role- what agencies are involved in this policy debate? Please be sure to include information on ACIP
a. Identify who is the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
b. What federal department and thus agency is responsible for this committee
c. How many members are on the committee ? how are they elected to the committee
d. What power does this committee have? Can they make law?
4. What is the state role? Site an example of a minimum of four examples of HPV vaccine introduced legislation in 2011-12 at the state level.
5. State three reasons why as a policymaker the vaccine should be required of all girls entering 6th grade.
6. State two reasons why as a policymaker the vaccine should not be mandated for young girls.
7. State your personal perspective? What would you do as a parent? Healthcare provider?

Students will need a minimum of 5-8 current professional sources. I encourage you to view the tutorial on this topic at www.kff.org. The paper must be a minimum of 10 pages (maximum 15 pages) and follow proper APA formatting. A quality paper should contain less than 15% direct quotes. Wikepedia is NOT an acceptable resource. Required use of preofessional resources includes peer reviewed professional journals and scholarly articles. When a student paraphrases information, it should be written in his or her own words. Changing one or two words in unacceptable. Putting a catch all at the end of every paragraph is unacceptable. Students should not limit resources to only online. The paper must be submitted using the drop box by April 6 BY 10:00 AM. Early submissions are appreciated (and may receive bonus points). I will be using Turnitin to check for plagiarism.
