A new government report adds to evidence that the HPV vaccine, once called dangerous by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is preventing cervical cancer in young women. The report comes after Kennedy pledged to give a family member any fees he might earn from HPV vaccine litigation.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is having a huge impact on cervical cancer prevention among young women, a U.S. government report published Thursday suggests. Why it matters: The CDC report shows that rates of precancerous lesions among women aged 20-24 screened for cervical cancer dropped by about 80% from 2008 to 2022.
A recent CDC report further demonstrates the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine against cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that affects both females and males and is linked to higher risks of various forms of cancer.
From 2008 to 2022, rates for precancerous lesions decreased about 80 percent among 20- to 24-year-old women who were screened for cervical cancer.
