ALT The HPV vaccine is saving lives, but around 1 in 4 young people are still leaving school unprotected. Quote from Dr Sharif Ismail, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA The HPV vaccine is one of the most effective cancer-preventing vaccines available. Now just a single dose given in school, it protects against cervical cancer, and several cancers caused by HPV that affect both boys and girls, helping to save thousands of lives and the terrible stress on families. This new study provides striking evidence of just how significant the impact of HPV vaccination has been in helping to reduce deaths from cervical cancer in England. If you’ve missed out on vaccination, please speak to your GP about catch-up options: young people remain eligible until their 25th birthday.
