A recent systematic review of 600 existing HPV vaccination research which was commissioned by the World Health Organization discovered a reduction in HVP occurrences and cervical lesions which could result in cervical cancer.

This review's studies involved 600 million participants, and demonstrated a drop in HPV occurrences of up to 83% in females aged 15 to 19 years of age, and a drop of 66% in females aged 20 to 24 years of age. The corresponding drop rates for pre-cancerous lesions was 51% for the age cohort of 15 to 9 years of age, and 31% for the age cohort of 20 to 24 years of age.

These research outcomes point to the HPV vaccination's effectiveness in the prevention of cervical infections & cancer, and could possibly even lead to the elimination of the disease altogether.

About HPV

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease. The disease is rather benign and usually resolves on its own, but certain strains can result in genital warts or even cancer.
