HPV Protection

GARDASIL® is the only vaccine that may help guard against diseases that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) Types 6, 11, 16, and 18: cervical cancer, cervical abnormalities that can sometimes lead to cervical cancer, and genital warts.

In October 2005 the pharmaceutical company Merck announced that in clinical trials Gardasil was 100% effective in preventing infection with HPV strains 16 and 18, which together cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases.

Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in women and 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide.

The new human papilloma virus vaccine recently approved is now recommended by CDC for women from 9 - 26 years of age.

Shingles Protection

Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After an attack of chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in certain nerve tissue. As people age, it is possible for the virus to reappear in the form of shingles, which is estimated to affect 2 in every 10 people in their lifetime. Shingles is characterized by clusters of blisters, which develop on one side of the body and can cause severe pain that may last for weeks, months or years after the virus reappears.

ZOSTAVAX®, another newly approved vaccine, is recommended by CDC for people age 60 and older to prevent herpes zoster, or shingles, a condition that often leads to debilitating chronic pain.

We have been doing considerably more business each year across our locations by offering onsite clinics to corporations, schools & universities, and other private and public entities. With Gardasil (HPV/Cervical Cancer), Zostavax (Shingles), and Meningitis, we are seeing more of a demand from Student Healthcare, Health Directors, and others to offer events focused on mass immunization and education about the particular disease.

Passport Health handles all of the logistics, paperwork, vaccine administering, reminders, and boosters. This can take the onus off of already stretched health centers at schools and employers to free them up to do what they do best. Plus, this is a great mechanism to deal with “catch-up cohorts” that will exist around most new vaccines.
