No cases of cervical cancer have been detected in those across Angus who have received the HPV vaccine.
In Angus, 62.9% of pupils received the vaccine last year and there have been no cases of cervical cancer detected in those fully vaccinated.
Figures from Public Health Scotland show that no cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated women since the immunisation programme started in Scotland in 2008. Graeme Dey is therefore highlighting the importance of receiving the vaccine.#
Women’s Health Minister @jenni_minto encouraged girls to accept HPV vaccination to help eliminate cervical cancer. No cases have been detected in fully vaccinated girls who received a first dose at age 12-13 years.#PreventCervicalCancer #CervicalScreeningScot pic.twitter.com/z3FCjx1SCg

Across Angus and Scotland more broadly we have made life-saving progress in detecting Cervical Cancer and providing preventative treatment.
GRAEME
The facts speak for themselves: there have been no cases of cervical cancer detected in those who have been fully vaccinated.
There can be no doubt about the efficacy of this preventative healthcare, and I encourage all those in Angus who are offered this vaccine to take it.
