A study by Public Health Scotland found that the HPV vaccine is successful in reducing cervical cancer cases in young women, with the best results seen in those vaccinated between ages 11 and 13. The vaccine reduces the risk of aggressive cervical cancers to zero and has significantly decreased cases of invasive cervical cancer in Scotland. Vaccination at a young age is crucial, as older girls are less well protected. Mass vaccination campaigns are effective, especially in deprived areas. While the vaccine is safe and effective, regular cervical screenings are still important for early detection. Prevention through vaccination is key in the fight against cervical cancer.
