Abstract

Prophylactic vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cornerstone of the World Health Organisation global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem. At the end of 2007, the first two HPV vaccines were marketed in Spain. Therefore, 15 years have passed since the start of vaccination, included in the schedule of systematic immunizations for girls. Coinciding with this anniversary, this recommendation has been extended to boys. A vaccination that therefore achieves immunisation equity, regardless of sex. The purpose of this work is to offer an update on vaccination against HPV in Spain after 5 years of the initial work previously published on the historical origins of the virus and the beginnings of this immunisation, the second (after hepatitis B) for the prevention of cancer, and of the achievements and advances obtained.

Resumen

La vacunación profiláctica contra el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) es el pilar fundamental de la estrategia mundial de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para acelerar la eliminación del cáncer de cuello uterino como problema de salud pública. A finales de 2007 se comercializaron en España las dos primeras vacunas frente al VPH. Se cumplen por tanto 15 años del inicio de la vacunación, incluida en el calendario de inmunizaciones sistemáticas de las niñas, y precisamente, coincidiendo con este aniversario, se ha extendido esta recomendación a los varones. Una vacunación, pues, con independencia de sexo, que logra la equidad vacunal. El propósito de este trabajo es ofrecer una actualización de la vacunación frente al VPH en España tras el trabajo inicial publicado anteriormente sobre los orígenes históricos del virus y de los inicios de esta inmunización, la segunda (tras la de la hepatitis B) para la prevención del cáncer, y de los logros y avances obtenidos, que ahora, 5 años después, actualizamos.
