      It’s also thought that the HPV vaccine may also prevent oropharyngeal cancer as well.

      Edit : actually even more than that :

      ‘But the vaccine also protects against types of HPV that can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, vulva, vagina, penis and anus. It also protects against genital warts’

      Why is this news? Haven’t we known this for years? I remember seeing a DataIsBeautiful visualisation about this in or around 2012 :-/

      I’m so happy to see this. I lost my sister to cervical cancer last year and I am so glad that so many women will never have to go through that ❤️

      It is amazing that this is showing just the kind of positive results we all hoped.

      Why can only gay men and women get the vaccine? Surely everyone should have it so then men can’t spread it as much?

      Sadly in our school, vaccination rates are plummetting, especially among girls. We often get angry parents calling up saying “I want to make sure you aren’t going to vaccinate my child!”. Vaccination rate has dropped from around 80 percent in 2019, to around 35 percent for the most recent round. It’s really bad. Some girls refuse to have it done as either “it hurts” or “I want to have children in the future”. It’s really disappointing.
