Teema: Nõusoleku küsimine osalemaks üleeuroopalises HPV-vaktsineerimise hõlmatust uurivas terviseprojektis
Manused: logod.jpg; Project_PERCH_Leaflet.pdf
Tere!
Kirjutan seoses üleeuroopalise terviseprojektiga, mille eesmärgiks on suurendada inimese papilloomiviiruse
(HPV) vaktsiiniga hõlmatust liikmesriikides, et tulevikus esineks vähem HPV poolt põhjustatud haigusi ja
pahaloomulisi kasvajaid. Projekti kirjeldav ingliskeelne infoleht on lisatud manusesse.
Eestis on HPV poolt põhjustatud haiguste, eriti emakakaelavähi, haigestumus üks kõrgemaid Euroopas ning ilma
profülaktilise HPV vaktsineerimiseta ei ole võimalik tulevasi põlvkondi nendest haigustest säästa.
Alates 2018. aastast on Eestis pakutud kõigile 12-aastastele tüdrukutele tõhusat ja turvalist 9 kõrge riski HPV
tüübi vastu kaitsvat vaktsiini. Meie rõõmuks on umbes 60% tüdrukutest selle pakkumise vastu võtnud. Siiski ei
ole 40% tüdrukutest vaktsineeritud ja üks antud projekti eesmärkidest on mõista, mis takistab tüdrukuid ja nende
vanemaid andmaks luba seda teha.
Küsin antud kirjaga luba lisada Teie organisatsioon Eesti poolsesse huvirühmade (ingl Stakeholder)
nimekirja, et vajadusel arutada Teie organisatsiooni poolseid mõtteid ja vaateid sellel teemal. Ajaliselt on Teie
sisend minimaalne (võimalikud intervjuud, küsimustikele vastamine jm), kuid Teie poolt saadud info on
hindamatu.
Loodan väga Teie positiivsele vastusele!
Heade soovidega
