HPV vaccine significantly reduces precancerous cervical lesions

clickondetroit.com — February 27, 2025 at 09:01 PM UTC

A new CDC report shows an 80% decrease in precancerous cervical lesions among women aged 20 to 24 from 2008 to 2022. This decline is linked to the increased use of the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine has been recommended in the U.S. since 2006 for girls and since 2011 for boys. The report adds to evidence that the vaccine is effective in preventing cervical cancer. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. previously criticized the HPV vaccine but has pledged to donate any litigation fees he earns related to it.
