Great news: in the 5 years 2020-2024, know how many 20-24 year olds died of cervical cancer in England?

ZERO.

That's the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Before the vaccine was used, on average about 20 people in that age range died of cervical cancer in a 5 year span.

We're looking forward to more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.
