The HPV vaccine reduced cervical cancer rates by 87% in women, a UK study has found.

The study published Wednesday in the journal The Lancet estimates that by mid-2019, there were 450 fewer cases of cervical cancer and 17,200 fewer cases of pre-cancers than expected in the vaccinated population.Researchers at Kings College London and the British government looked at population-based cancer registry data in the UK between January 2006 and June 2019 for seven groups of women, comparing those who were vaccinated to those who were not.

We hope that these new results encourage uptake as the success of the vaccination program relies not only on the efficacy of the vaccine but also the proportion of the population vaccinated."Cervical cancer is rare among young women, so it is still too early to determine the full impact HPV immunizations have on overall cervical cancer rates. The UK also stopped using the HPV vaccine in this study in 2012. Now instead of the Cervarix vaccine, the UK uses the Gardasil vaccine instead.

Too bad Florida and Texas don’t care about cancers

I think you meant 87% in [people]? Or cervix-havers? Inclusive language matters. Do better.

Incredible. We should call our local Congress and mandate this for all women.

I wish the Christians would get on board with this. Jesus doesn't like cancer either.

Is this a vaccine that is commonly available in the U.S.? What percentage of women in the U.S. actually get this vaccine every year?

This vaccine thing is wild!
