HPV, also known as “human papillomavirus”, is a DNA virus commonly found in humans, vertebrates, and insects. It is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and can infect human epidermis and mucous membrane tissues. There are more than 200 types of HPV, and it is one of the important infectious pathogens of men and women. Research data shows that, regardless of men and women, everyone has a 50-80% chance of being infected with HPV in their lifetime, and they will be repeatedly infected. Although HPV infection can be prevented through vaccines, due to the lack of public awareness of HPV, especially the risk of cancer in men, the vaccination rate is still very low. Types are still insufficient to meet the domestic demand for vaccination, especially males should not be ignored or excluded.

According to the current plan and implementation of the HPV vaccine policy implemented by the National Health Administration, it has been the fourth year since the policy of public funded vaccination for women in the first national government. In a press release issued by supervisory committee members Wang Youling and Tian Qiujin in 2018, they questioned “the proportion of men infected with HPV virus” Not too low, free vaccination excludes men, what is the basis? It may involve differential treatment of men and women’s right to health!”, and raised questions regarding the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s promotion of the HPV vaccine free vaccination policy and applied for automatic investigation. This situation calls on the competent authorities to re-examine the valence and type of HPV vaccine protection and the medical research evidence that HPV derivatives cause cancer, and also evaluate the overall public health policy of the country to promote the right to health of men and women , and the equal right to health of people regardless of county or city.

Since continuous infection with human papillomavirus is the main cause of cervical cancer, HPV vaccination can effectively prevent more than 70% of children. cervical cancer. A few days ago (11/23), Legislator Lai Huiyuan and Tainan City Councilor Cai Xiaowei held a press conference a few days ago to call on the government to refer to the British model and allow college students over the age of 18 to receive the HPV vaccine at public expense to increase the vaccination rate of women. The two pointed out that if most women can get the chance to be vaccinated once morest HPV, the possibility of diagnosis will be greatly reduced. At the same time, Commissioner Lai called on male middle school boys to be included in the HPV public-funded vaccine, so that domestic HPV cervical cancer vaccines can be implemented. By the time of its fourth anniversary, Taiwan should keep up with the world trend and make progress in the prevention of human papillomavirus. That is to say, both men and women over the age of 18 can be vaccinated at public expense, so as to effectively expand the coverage and make HPV vaccine It can play better and is more in line with the health needs of the Chinese people.
