HPV vaccine eliminates cervical cancer cases in vaccinated Scottish women, landmark studies show
Summary
Landmark population-based studies from Scotland and the Netherlands provide compelling real-world evidence that HPV vaccines are highly effective at preventing cervical cancer. The Scottish study found zero cases of invasive cervical cancer among women vaccinated at ages 12-13 after 8-12 years of follow-up, while a Dutch national study of over 100,000 women confirmed significant protection from the bivalent HPV vaccine. These findings, more than a decade after vaccination programs began, demonstrate dramatic reductions in cervical cancers and precancers across multiple countries.
