What a suprise, if it is true that we are putting tax on Condom, the use of which is to reduce/prevent STDs( Sexual Transmitted Disease), unwanted pregnancies etc, for the President to announce Vaccination on Cervival Cancer, shows lack of policy. Has he found out how many countries in the 1St world vaccinated their girls and the success rates Are we not being used as Guinea Pigs by the Pharmacuetical.Please, Mr President as a proud Ghana, do not allows untested drugs such as the Anti-malaria from India sent to Ghana. There are more malaria deaths in India than in Ghana, so why not tested in India. In fact There are more POOR AND UNEDUCATED PEOPLE in India than Ghana. The person(s) who perpetuated this crime must be proscuted.Good luck

How many cervical cancer patients do we have in this country? There are more serious issues to think of than this Mr. President. Korle Bu itself lack very basic facilities like bedding. You have nothing to offer the people and are only conjouring unnecessary projects to syphone the nations money. Your brother's debt is yet to be paid.

What does this Akomfem know about cervical cancer? In the West, woamen's groups and parents are against it so Mahama should tell us what he knows about this vaccination!

Akadu, I think you made a very good point there. But for name calling, I'm not sure.............

Please bear in mind that our so-called leaders are in bed with these large international pharmaceutical corporate entities and many others. So, in that sense, they get their cut for our people to be used as guinea pigs and eventually the sale of the vaccination to us. Just as the GM crops being grown in our nation. When it sits in well with our taste buds, we will start importing them.

This kind of collaboration goes across board with both the NDC and the NPP governments, in the name of globalization and so-called democracy.

It has nothing to do with helping African at all. And it's rather unfortunate we as a people don't get it! We are too gullible!!!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

There is nothing wrong with knowing it all; we all need to know to make informed decisions critical to our existence. Just because vaccines are offered does not make them safe and prevent diseases, it is all about money/profit for big pharma. You must be an obedient slave to the master (big pharma).

REFERENCE RECOURSE:

THE EYE OF USA:
I am rich, the most powerful.Everybody look at me and I give attention to who I pity. My interest surpass everything on the earth.

AFRICAN EYE:
I have the major resources on earth, but I'm stupid enough to allow others to use me to enrich themselves for a little bit of myself. I look up to them and I wish I could be like them in my own pace.

EUROPEAN EYE:
I have no resources on my own, but I would use the foolish on earth to accomplish my plans and aspirations. It is not my fault for Africans to allow themselves for that matter. Well, I need these things, so I have use my ways and means to engineer my wishes.

ASIAN EYE:
I have come of age against bullying of the west. Now, I am on my own. I can stand on my two feet. If anything, I do not need USA, but I need the AFRICANS who has the resources cheap. I have to find a way to compete for their resources.

MIDDLE EAST:
Religion is where it is exact. We were raised and form under religions and it takes part of everything we do, including our government systems. Even, if it takes my blood, I will fight for that till the end of my existance.

SOUTH AMERICA:
I am coming up with my own. I don't care what anyone says. Cathechism is my joy and believes and soccer my entertainment ability.

Vacinating girls at very young age is a good decision to protect them against HPV Human Papilloma Virus. But the first thing Ghana should do is to encourage all adult females in Ghana to be going in for the Paptest. This test must be done in at least every regional hospital. New advances in the annual screening of women for cervical cancer has revealed that annual screening is unnecessary when the result is negative for consecutive number of times . This eliminates unnecessary cost the patient.It is necessary only if the Paptest shows abnormal results.
Paptest is considered necessary even with the introduction of HPV vacines.

Great idea Ekow, but the first Pap test in the States are recommended for girls starting at the age of 21, unless a teenager is sexually active & is having abnormal vaginal discharge, then the gynecologist will do a pelvic exam or the Pap test. In any case, this cervical vaccine is a great idea but must be given as "option".

(NaturalNews) For the last several years, HPV vaccines have been marketed to the public and mandated in compulsory injections for young girls in several states based on the idea that they prevent cervical cancer. Now, NaturalNews has obtained documents from the FDA and other sources (see below) which reveal that the FDA has been well aware for several years that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has no direct link to cervical cancer.

NaturalNews has also learned that HPV vaccines have been proven to be flatly worthless in clearing the HPV virus from women who have already been exposed to HPV (which includes most sexually active women), calling into question the scientific justification of mandatory "vaccinate everyone" policies.

Furthermore, this story reveals evidence that the vaccine currently being administered for HPV -- Gardasil -- may increase the risk of precancerous cervical lesions by an alarming 44.6 percent in some women. The vaccine, it turns out, may be far more dangerous to the health of women than doing nothing at all.

If true, this information reveals details of an enormous public health fraud being perpetrated on the American people, involving FDA officials, Big Pharma promoters, and even the governors of states like Texas. The health and safety of tens of millions of young girls is at stake here, and what this NaturalNews investigative report reveals is that HPV vaccinations may not only be medically useless; they may also be harmful to the health of the young girls receiving them.

This report reveals startling facts about the HPV vaccine that most people will find shocking:

• How it may actually increase the risk of precancerous lesions by 44.6 percent.

• The FDA has, for four years, known that HPV was not the cause of cervical cancer.

• Why mandatory HPV vaccination policies may cause great harm to young girls.

• Why HPV infections are self-limiting and pose no real danger in healthy women

• Little-known FDA documents that reveal astounding facts about Gardasil

• How Big Pharma promoted its Gardasil vaccine using disease mongering and fear mongering

People, you'all got it wrong. Disease/illness/sickness is a disconnect of an organ in the periphery from the mind. The organ is trying to connect back with the mind to heal itself. Disease or sickness or illness is a manifestation of the unwanted environmental changes near the organ and absolutely NO disease can be treated with a chemical from outside the body. The body is made to heal itself if conditions are unfavorable. Have good and healthy thinking attitude/mind for good health and prevention of disease.

This was the very vaccination that was to take place in the US but was somewhat abandoned abruptly because parents, especially the African Americans, smelt a rat and rebuffed it. Is Ghana going for it? Do we know exactly what we are getting into?. As for me and my household, we will boycott it. I encourage all level-headed Ghanaians not to subject their children to it.

Listen, girls and boys are both being vaccinated now, and that is in the US of A. Look, cervical cancer from HPV is no joke, especially, amongst our womenfolk, who never get Pap smears every one to two years.

Ignorant indeed! A friend of mine is currently dying of cervical cancer and receiving hospice care at just 29yrs old. Had she receive this vaccine earlier, she wouldn't have develop this deadly disease. Yes, it's good for parents to ask questions about this vaccine but please, stop spreading your ignorance on this forum.

When my 9 year old daughter came home from school with a consent form requesting that she is vaccinated at school against cervical cancer, I asked 7 health professionals in Canada whether they will vaccinate their girls against cervical cancer. Three of them responded NO, the remaining were hesitant. Not a single one of them said YES, I keep wondering why. Another health professional confessed that all side effects are not known yet. I believe it is a personal choice and the campaign to vaccinate must put education first to allow parents to make informed choices. No one should feel coerced.
