Cervical cancer deaths drop to zero in vaccinated young women
A study published in The Lancet highlights that since the HPV vaccine was introduced to school-aged girls in England in 2008, cervical cancer deaths among women aged 20 to 24 have fallen to zero for the first time, with around 200 lives saved overall. The research shows that vaccination at age 12 or 13 has nearly eliminated the risk of death from cervical cancer before age 30, and future reductions are expected as vaccination rates increase. Despite this progress, vaccination coverage remains below recommended levels, and health officials emphasize the importance of maintaining high uptake to eliminate cervical cancer.
