Laura was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2023.

After finding the treatment far more intrusive than a cervical smear test, she describes how she was relieved she had had her family vaccinated against the HPV virus.

Two new Cochrane reviews show strong and consistent evidence that HPV vaccines are effective in preventing cervical cancer and pre-cancerous changes, especially when given to young people before they are exposed to the virus.

We've had to wait a long time to get to this point! With this new pair of Cochrane systematic reviews, the weight of the evidence has tipped very heavily in favor of HPV vaccination.

🌍It’s World Children’s Day!

Healthy kids mean a healthy future.

Vaccines protect children and communities worldwide. HPV vaccination helps prevent cancers later in life for both boys and girls. 🌍💙

Earlier in the month, we attended the International Conference for Family Planning.

A topic that stood out was HPV vaccination, a critical intervention for preventing cervical cancer. We enjoyed being part of these discussions about how evidence can advance equity in women's health.
