Its high level of severity is related to its central nervous system involvement. The measles virus represented, until the beginning of the 90's, a huge public health relevance, considering its epidemics. With the arising of new cases, it is the role of the health and education professionals to act actively in prevention, stimulating vaccination and information about the disease.

This evaluation was conducted by the use a questionnaire that included questions about students' knowledge related to measles, its vaccine and its current situation in Brazil. As the result, 96% of participants were aware about measles, however, lower numbers were acquired in the following questions, which were about disease transmission, infection and symptoms. Therefore, the data are not yet satisfactory, being necessary the development of activities with the professionals mentioned before for the adequate exchange of information.Item Conhecimento de alunos de Escola Pública da Cidade do Recife-PE a respeito do vírus HPV e sua vacina(2018) Pinheiro, Raiane Caroline de Paula; Cavalcanti, Yone Vila Nova; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3476206328790443; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4242158875797760Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiologic agent of one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). There are more than 100 types of HPV and about 18 types cause cervical cancer. It usually causes lesions and warts in the anogenital and mucosal regions, where contact with them results in their transmission. The contamination and development of cervical cancer can be avoided through the use of condoms in sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations and, especially, the vaccination of the appropriate age group of up to 13 years. Many young people are unaware of the existence of the vaccine and thereby increase the rate of the disease. This study aims to know and evaluate the level of clarification of adolescents about HPV virus infection and its vaccine. The study was carried out in a public school in the city of Recife / PE. The data collection was done through the application of a questionnaire during the class time. The sample consisted of 125 middle and high school students, the majority of whom were between 14 and 16 years of age. It has been observed that most people know little or know nothing about HPV and that they have a misconception about the ways of transmitting the virus, mistaken for the HIV virus. From the obtained data it was possible to conclude that of the adolescents who were not immunized, most of them did not know that they could be vaccinated or did not have the opportunity. Thus, it is necessary for the school and the family to discuss sex education, as well as to increase health education campaigns.
