In the Netherlands the Ministry of Health started a campaign against cervix cancer by promoting a vaccin against it for girls of around 13 years. I wonder, is a campaign like that national or are there other countries with the same?

 Yes vaccination has started in the UK, which is great.  There are a few problems already with side effects to the vaccine though.

 It is not proven that cancer is inherited genetically across the board, although certainly some forms (like breast cancer) seem to be passed on that way.

 

I am not sure of the science of the cervical vaccine (and can´t be bothered to check right now!) but I do know that you can only get cervical cancer it if you are sexually active and there are certain sexual transmitted infections which can increase your risk of getting it.

They have it in the US as well, I recall seeing advertisements about it in the media. It´s a vaccine against the HP virus that can cause cancer, not the cancer itself. If I recall correctly that is.

that was because you are often questioned in places like surgeries, hospitals etc. if anyone from your family had cancer. i should this though.

 

i think you can develop any type of cancer by leading very unhealthy life.

I think you are partly wrong. As far as I know there are 3 main causes for cervix cancer: a. the inherited variant, b. the one ´given´ by you through HPV - mostly because the woman or her partner were not monogamous and c. mutation. You can decrease risks caused by b. by being monogamous both (!!) for your entire life and using preservatives if not but the other two you can only prevent with a vaccin. That´s what my doctor told me when I asked. BTW, the vaccin only works when the girl has not been sexual active.

 They have been trying to make it mandatory here in the US....here is more information on the HPV vaccine. Probably more information than anyone wanted...but read it if you want.

 

I would rather make my own decision regarding any vaccine. Make up your own mind.

I do not think that a rule of monogamomy should apply to anyone - it just isn´t natural......

That word always cracks me up. In the USA, you´d use the word preservatives to describe substances added to food to prevent them from spoiling (you see on the jars a lot: no preservatives added" or something like that), but in Polish the word preserwatywa refers to a condom and the word for "preservatives" is "konserwanty", which would translate as "conservants", things that "conserve". Anyway, it´s just funny to me, and I have to be careful when I´m in Poland not to ask if there are any preservatives in the food lol
