HPV Vaccine Halts Cervical Cancer Deaths
Description
HPV vaccine is literally saving lives—new research shows it’s already preventing cervical cancer deaths in England, with girls vaccinated around age 12-13 now facing nearly zero risk of dying from the disease before 30. Since rollout in 2008, the NHS program has stopped about 200 deaths, and between 2020-2024, not a single woman aged 20-24 died from cervical cancer. The vaccine also protects against throat and mouth cancers. Still free for anyone under 25, but uptake lags behind WHO’s 90% target—get it at your GP or school nurse. Regular screenings remain essential since the vaccine doesn’t cover all cancer-causing HPV strains.
