The Commission welcomes the adoption of a set of recommendations on vaccine-preventable cancers by Member States, a key deliverable under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"cient\u00edfico<\/a><\/p>\n

Proposed by the Commission in January, the Council Recommendation aims to\u00a0increase the uptake of vaccination<\/strong>\u00a0against viruses that can lead to cancers Human papillomaviruses (HPV) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). By boosting vaccination uptake, Member States can prevent cancers caused by these viruses, save lives and\u00a0reduce the pressures on health systems<\/strong>. The Recommendation will also help countries to better monitor vaccination coverage rates, to identify where gaps may need to be addressed.<\/p>\n

To eliminate cervical cancer and other cancers caused by HPV, Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan has set a target for Member States to reach HPV vaccination rates of 90% for girls and to significantly increase the vaccination of boys by 2030. The Cancer Plan also aims to ensure access and increased uptake of the HBV vaccination, notably to prevent liver cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
