  • Supplemental Information and Guidance for Vaccination Providers Regarding Use of 9-Valent HPV Vaccine
    Supplemental information and guidance for vaccination providers regarding use of 9-valent HPV A 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (9vHPV, Gardasil 9, Merck & Co.) was licensed for use in females and males in December 2014.1,2,3,4 The 9vHPV was the third HPV vaccine licensed in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the other vaccines are bivalent HPV vaccine (2vHPV, Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline), licensed for use in females, and quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV, Gardasil, Merck & Co.), licensed for use in females and males.5 In February 2015, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended 9vHPV as one of three HPV vaccines that can be used for routine vaccination of females and one of two HPV vaccines for routine vaccination of males.6 After the end of 2016, only 9vHPV will be distributed in the United States. In October 2016, ACIP updated HPV vaccination recommendations regarding dosing schedules.7 CDC now recommends two doses of HPV vaccine (0, 6–12 month schedule) for persons starting the vaccination series before the 15th birthday. Three doses of HPV vaccine (0, 1–2, 6 month schedule) continue to be recommended for persons starting the vaccination series on or after the 15th birthday and for persons with certain immunocompromising conditions. Guidance is needed for persons who started the series with 2vHPV or 4vHPV and may be completing the series with 9vHPV. The information below summarizes some of the recommendations included in ACIP Policy Notes and provides additional guidance.5-7 Information about the vaccines What are some of the similarities and differences between the three HPV vaccines? y Each of the three HPV vaccines is a noninfectious, virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine.

  • Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
    Human Papillomavirus Vaccine: Supply and Demand Update UNICEF Supply Division October 2020 0 Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Supply and Demand Update - October 2020 This update provides information on human papillomavirus vaccine, including supply, demand, and pricing trends. It highlights continued supply constraints foreseen over 2020 and 2021, which also affects countries procuring through UNICEF. UNICEF requests self-financing middle-income countries to consolidate credible multi-year demand and to submit multi-year commitments through UNICEF. 1. Summary • UNICEF’s strategic plan for 2018-2021 seeks to ensure that at least 24 countries nationally introduce human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine into their immunization programmes.1 As of to date, 20 countries supplied through UNICEF, of which 15 supported by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi) and five countries having transitioned from Gavi support and self-finance their procurement, have introduced HPV vaccines since 2013. Fourteen middle-income countries (MICs) are also procuring HPV vaccines through UNICEF. From 2013 to 2019, UNICEF’s total HPV vaccine procurement reached 30.9 million doses in support of girls. There is currently no gender-neutral programmes in countries supplied through UNICEF. Of the 30.9 million doses, UNICEF procured 28.3 million doses (91 per cent) for countries supported by Gavi, including those that transitioned from Gavi support and still access Gavi prices, and 2.6 million doses (9 per cent) on behalf of self-financing MICs. • In December 2016, Gavi revised its programme strategy to support full-scale national HPV vaccine introductions with multi-age cohort (MAC) vaccinations. This substantially increased HPV vaccine demand through UNICEF from 2017.

The fast development of vaccines against COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the course of the pandemic. Methods: Global data from Google Trends was analyzed for vaccines against flu, BCG, HPV, pneumococcal disease, polio, and COVID-19. The time frame includes the last five-year period starting from 17 April 2016. Multiple training of time series models with back testing, including Holt–Winters forecasting, Exponential Smoothing State Space, Linear model with trend and seasonal components (tlsm), and ARIMA was conducted. Forecasting according to the best fitting model was performed. Results: Correlation analysis did not reveal a decrease in interest in vaccines during the analyzed period. The prediction models provided a short-term forecast of the dynamics of interest Citation: Sycinska-Dziarnowska, M.; for flu, HPV, pneumococcal and polio vaccines with 5–10% growth in interest for the first quarter Paradowska-Stankiewicz, I.; Wo´zniak, of 2022 when compared to the same quarter of 2021.
