Expert advice on the cervical cancer jab

Dr Lesley Walker, Director of Cancer Information at Cancer Research UK, on the cervical cancer jab

'The announcement of a HPV vaccination is an important step forward in preventing more cases of cervical cancer. Studies suggest the vaccine can prevent the majority of cervical cancers. Our own research indicates most mothers with teenage daughters are in favour of the vaccine. Although mothers have concerns over potential side effects, only a minority are concerned that the vaccine might encourage promiscuity.'
Dr Lesley Walker, Director of Cancer Information at Cancer Research UK
