90. Scotland: No cervical cancer cases in HPV-vaccinated women
Sun Feb 16, 2025, 06:32 PM
Feb 2025
22 January 2024

A new study has found that no cases of cervical cancer have been detected in young women who have been fully-vaccinated as part of the HPV immunisation programme.

The Public Health Scotland (PHS) research said the HPV (human papillomavirus virus) vaccine was "highly effective" in preventing the development of the cancer.
...
The vaccination programme started in 2008 with girls offered the vaccine in their first year at secondary school, aged 12 or 13.

The vaccine, which is now offered to boys, also helps to protect them from other HPV-related cancers later in life, such as head, neck and anogenital cancers as well as genital warts.
...
Public Health Scotland collaborated with the Universities of Strathclyde and Edinburgh on its research and included every woman in Scotland who is eligible for the cervical cancer screening programme in the figures.

The study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Dr Kirsty Roy, consultant in health protection at PHS, said: "It shows how effective the HPV vaccine is as there have been no cervical cancer cases to-date in fully vaccinated women who were given their first dose at age 12-13 years.
