>>PROVINCE PARTICIPATES IN HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) VACCINE STUDY
>>
>>CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI -- Researchers from Dalhousie University are
>>working with the Prince Edward Island Department of Health and
>>Wellness to conduct a new study of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
>>vaccine.
>>
>>??? ?All girls who received the HPV vaccine through the school
>>vaccination program are being invited to help researchers with this
>>study,? says Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Heather Morrison.
>>?While it is widely accepted among researchers that HPV vaccine can
>>safely protect against HPV disease and will prevent cervical cancer,
>>it is not known how long this protection lasts, or whether there is
>>any difference in effectiveness between two doses or three doses of
>>HPV vaccine.?
>>??? ?We know that HPV causes cervical cancer, and that the HPV vaccine
>>prevents infection from HPV and reduces the risk of cervical cancer,?
>>says Dr. Shelly McNeil, a lead researcher on the study and infectious
>>disease specialist at Dalhousie University and Capital District Health
>>Authority, Halifax. ?What we want to determine is how the two-dose
>>schedule given in some provinces compares to the three-dose schedule
>>given here in Prince Edward Island? ? and we want to follow girls over
>>the long term to see how effective the vaccine has been over time.?
>>??? Currently, Health Canada has approved a three-dose schedule of the
>>quadrivalent HPV vaccine given over six months. This three-dose
>>schedule is offered by Public Health Nurses in Health PEI to all girls
>>in Grade 6.? In some provinces in Canada, the vaccine is given as a
>>two-dose schedule.
>>??? To determine if a two-dose HPV vaccine schedule provides equivalent
>>protection, the Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine Evaluation Study (QUEST) will
>>follow more than 8,500 teenage girls recruited from British Columbia,
>>Alberta, Quebec and the Maritimes for up to 10 years. The study will
>>assess risk factors, frequency of infection with HPV, and the level of
>>protection provided by two doses of vaccine compared to three doses.
>>??? ?Letters are being sent to Prince Edward Island girls who received
>>three doses of HPV vaccine since 2007,? says Dr. Morrison.? ?Over the
>>next several months, all girls who received the HPV immunization in
>>school are being invited to assist in finding out the difference the
>>vaccine makes.?
>>??? The Prince Edward Island HPV immunization program has been offered
>>since the 2007/2008 school year.
>>??? QUEST builds on earlier HPV vaccine research. In 2006, research
>>conducted in Canada measured the short-term immune response of a
>>two-dose HPV vaccine.? QUEST aims to determine if this protection is
>>maintained over a longer term.? Dr. Morrison adds, ?This study will
>>help optimize our HPV vaccine dosing schedule to ensure the current
>>and future health and well-being of Islanders.?
