Question by Zoe: If you get the cervical cancer jab, does it stop you getting cervical cancer at all?
I’m getting the jab in september and the others later on. But i was just wondering, if you get the jab, does it prevent from getting cervical cancer all together?

No it doesn’t prevent all the cervical cancers, only the top 4 HPV virus strains that cause them.
It isn’t something that you can have and then go thinking “I will never get cervical cancer now”… It just doesn’t happen that way. There are a few problems reported with this shot as well and some girls have even died because of it.
I would suggest you look at the articles on this and see if its worth it, I know I would want to make sure my daughters were protected if I had any but this would be one thing I would have my doubts about, it is a new drug and a new treatment with very little time to look at what it will do and if it is worth the risk.
Hope this helps.
