ASST Brianza makes its vaccination offices in Vimercate and Desio available for two days of vaccinations, next 1 and 15 April, against the Papilloma Virus (HPV) and against the Herpes Zoster virus (VZV).
What are papilloma virus and herpes zoster
The Papilloma Virus is transmitted sexually and is growing among the youngest. It can be contracted by both men and women and is, among the latter, the main risk factor for cervical cancer. Herpes Zoster, on the other hand, is the chickenpox virus that reactivates and can cause infection of one or more nerves. It is usually associated with a very painful rash. Vaccination against VZV reduces the risk of developing it and the possibility of complications.
