Recent reports from U.S -Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that nearly 40percent of girls only received one dosage of new vaccine, which fights against a virus that causes cervical and other types cancers.

More teenagers had already received a booster shot that prevents whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria from surveying 20,000 teens between 13 to 17 years.

Dr. Anne Schuchat said”We can see that more parents of adolescents are electing to protect their children from serious diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough), meningitis, and cervical cancer but there is clear room for improvement in our system’s ability to reach this age group.”

In addition to this, many whooping cough cases were reported this year significantly in California with nearly 3000 cases. Because infants are more likely to infected by various diseases than elders. This survey also revealed that 56 percent of teenagers had one dosage of tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine, also known as Tdap .

And 44 percent of girls had vaccinated with one dosage of HPV vaccination. Out of them only 27 percent only vaccinated with all three doses. Because HPV causes cervical cancer and may also cause anal and throat cancers.

Mainly only two Hpv vaccines are licensed one is Cervarix from GlaxoSmithKline and other one is Gardasil from Merck & Co.
