I think a bit has to do with the culture that may be present in each province and perhaps even the lack of education about HPV at this current time.
When I was growing up and HPV was first discovered, and then the vaccinations first came out, there were massive nationwide campaigns. I remember them, when I was in my 20s going into my 30s, as they were doing these campaigns.
I've noticed that there seems to be a lack of these campaigns nowadays. We have to keep in mind that every family that is making a decision on whether or not to vaccinate their child changes every 10 years. You're dealing with a new generation that's going into their child-bearing years and making decisions about having children. If we don't continue to carry forward with the education and offer these pertinent points....
It's not just cervix. It's vulvar, anal and throat. It's actually quite a large cancer burden when you look at it. We need to constantly stay on top of the educational component for our Canadian population.
