Experts predict that the number of women in their 20s diagnosed with cervical cancer will be cut by about 63% by 2025 thanks to the HPV vaccine. Cancer Research UK's Professor Jack Cuzick, lead author from Queen Mary, University of London, said: "This is the most realistic estimate of the impact the vaccination programme will have on the number of women who develop cervical cancer. "It shows that the vaccine has great potential in preventing the disease in the near future, but also that it'll take several decades before we see its full benefits."

This is good to read. Being a nurse on the HPV immunisation programme it's good to know the predicted outcome is extremely positive

Prevention is better than a cure, and I believe we should 'go for it' as far as possible to prevent cancer in women
