Abstract

In order to prevent cervical cancer, free vaccination against cervical cancer(HPV vaccine) for 12-year-old girls has been ongoing since June 2016. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the media reported the risk information of HPV vaccine side effects and to suggest implications for government's risk communication and policy PR. The time frame was divided into two stages, stage 1(policy formation stage, 6 months before the start of free HPV vaccination) and stage 2(policy execution stage, 6 months after the free HPV vaccination was implemented). A total of 314 news articles on HPV vaccine safety and HPV Vaccine side effects were analyzed by content analysis and network analysis. The number of articles increased at stage 2 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized the safety of HPV vaccine and encouraged the inoculation while highlighting the effectiveness of the vaccine. Regarding HPV vaccine side effects, cases against vaccination in Japan were mainly reported at stage 1, whereas cases of HPV vaccine side effects from other countries such as Europe and USA were frequently reported at stage 2. In order to increase vaccination rate of HPV vaccine, it is time to take a strategic approach to prevent vague fear or anxiety about the vaccine.

자궁경부암 예방을 위해 2016년 6월부터 만 12세 여아에 대한 자궁경부암 예방백신 무료접종이 실시되고 있다. 이 연구는 언론이 자궁경부암 예방백신 부작용이라는 리스크 정보에 대해 어떻게 보도하였는지 살펴보고, 정부의 위험 커뮤니케이션 및 정책홍보에의 함의를 제시하고자 하였다. 구체적으로 자궁경부암 예방백신 무료접종이 시작되기 전 6개월을 1기(정책결정 단계)로, 무료접종이 실시된 후 6개월을 2기(정책집행 단계)로 시기를 구분하여 자궁경부암 백신 부작용 및 안전성 관련 기사 314건을 분석하였다. 내용분석 및 네트워크 분석 결과, 1기보다 2기에 관련한 기사의 수가 증가하였으며, 질병관리본부에서 자궁경부암 백신의 안전성을 강조하고, 백신의 효과를 부각시키면서 접종을 권유한 내용이 언론보도의 한 축을 이루었다. 자궁경부암 백신의 부작용과 관련하여 1기에는 일본의 백신 접종 피해사례를 중심으로 보도되었고 이에 대한 학부모의 우려가 보도되었으나, 2기에는 일본 뿐만 아니라 유럽, 미국 등 세계 각국의 피해 사례가 빈번히 보도되었다. 향후 자궁경부암 예방백신 접종률을 높이기 위해서는 자궁경부암 백신 관련한 막연한 두려움이나 불안감이 증폭되지 않도록 전략적인 접근을 해야 할 시점이다.
