Evaluating The Impact of HPV Vaccination Programs on Reducing HPV Infections and Related Diseases Among Young Adults in Palm Beach County, Florida

Abstract

Both men and women can contract the common virus known as human papillomavirus (HPV) through sexual intercourse. Infections with the human HPV have been connected to at least six specific cancer kinds. HPV vaccination programs are important in combating this virus. HPV vaccination prevents malignancies rather than treating infections. It reduces health risks in young adults, including genital warts and certain cancers. Preventing HPV exposure is crucial for reducing future health burdens. For vaccination to be as effective as possible, it should be received before to exposure to HPV, usually beginning in adolescence. Since HPV infections usually occur shortly after a person begins sexual activity, young adults are more at risk for them. This study aims to assess how effectively HPV vaccination campaigns in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA, have worked to lower the incidence of HPV infections and associated illnesses among young adults. This study evaluated the success of HPV vaccination campaigns, the risk of emerging HPV-associated diseases (e.g., cervical cancer), and young adults' participation in these campaigns and their involvement in the vaccination process in the Palm Beach area.
