Share your reaction to the success of the HPV vaccine in the UK

The NHS vaccination programme to prevent cervical cancer has so far stopped tens of thousands of women from developing the disease and experiencing pre-cancerous changes to cells, a study has found.

A study found that cervical cancer rates in women offered the vaccine between the ages of 12 and 13 (now in their 20s) were 87% lower than in an unvaccinated population.

We’re interested to hear how people feel about cervical cancer possibly becoming a rare disease due to the success of the HPV jab in combination with screening.

Whether you’re a cancer survivor yourself, the friend or relative of someone affected by cervical cancer, a young woman who has had the HPV jab, or a parent of children who have had the jab, we’d like to hear from you.
