Cervical cancer has silently affected thousands of women every year Yet it is one of the few cancers that can be fully prevented through vaccination The HPV vaccine helps the body build protection against the virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer By vaccinating girls before they are exposed to the virus the chances of developing the disease later in life drop dramatically
This vaccine gives families peace of mind and helps the next generation of women live longer healthier and more confident lives
