Cancer-prevention jab saving hundreds of lives – but parents warned one in four eligible kids aren’t protected

The HPV vaccine has made a significant impact, saving at least 200 women under 35 from cancer since its introduction 17 years ago. This marks the first time such a prevention jab has shown such life-saving results. Despite this success, a concerning number of eligible children remain unprotected, with one in four not receiving the vaccine. This highlights the ongoing challenge of vaccine uptake and underscores the importance of continued public health efforts to protect young lives from preventable cancers.
