"Landmark Study: HPV Vaccine Shows Unprecedented Success in Preventing Cervical Cancer"
A study in Scotland found no cases of cervical cancer among women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV before age 14, highlighting the vaccine's effectiveness. The study emphasizes the importance of timely vaccination and the impact of vaccination on lower socioeconomic groups. While the vaccine targeted aggressive HPV strains, continued screenings are still necessary for early detection of cervical cancers caused by other HPV types. The results support the effectiveness of cohort vaccination in creating herd immunity against HPV.
