It was assumed that the vaccine could effectively protect the individual from sexually transmitted diseases," Dr. H. Cody Meissner then explained that it does not work that way. He then added that the HPV vaccine should have been advertised in a way that its focus is on cancer, and not STD infections.

HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Despite its rampant increase in terms of the people affected, it was explained that the earlier versions of the HPV vaccine can effectively reduce the number of HPV-related cancer by 25,000 per year, according to a study published in the Journal of National Cancer Institute.

The new HPV vaccine is expected to prevent at least 5,000 cancer-related deaths per year. It was then added that compliance should be taken into consideration.

Public health advocates then pointed out that parents and children would benefit if they would push for the compliance of the two-HPV vaccine-dose regimen. Health care providers continually push for their findings where it was highlighted that HPV vaccines work better in fewer doses.

"They're not getting the one vaccine that protects against diseases from which they're most likely to suffer and die," Offit stated.
