HPV Vaccination Linked to Near Elimination of Cervical Cancer Deaths in Young Women in England, Study Finds

A study published in The Lancet revealed that between 2020 and 2024, no women aged 20-24 in England died from cervical cancer, marking the first time such a statistic has been recorded in this age group. The HPV vaccine is estimated to have prevented nearly 200 young women from dying from cervical cancer, with those vaccinated at ages 12-13 having a 'close to zero risk' of dying from the disease before age 30.
