HPV jabs cut risk of dying from cervical cancer before 30 to almost zero

A new study reveals that women vaccinated against HPV in early adolescence have a near-zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before the age of 30. This groundbreaking research offers positive news regarding the effectiveness of HPV jabs in preventing this disease, which is the fourth most common cancer in women globally and is caused by high-risk HPV in 99% of cases. However, experts are concerned that a decline in HPV vaccination rates among teenagers could lead to an increase in cervical cancer cases and deaths in the future, despite current successes. Approximately 3,300 women in England are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually.
