Vaccine credited with HPV virus reduction in Scotland

A campaing to vaccinate girls against a cancer-causing sexuallly transmitted infection has led to a dramatic dcan papilloma virus (HPV) in Scottish women since the vaccine was made available in 2008.

The researchers, led by senior epidemiologist Dr Kevin Pollock at Health Protection Scotland, said they hoped to see a decrease in new diagnoses within a year. He told BBC Radio Scotland: "The two HPV types we were vaccinating against - HPV 16 and HPV 18 - cause about 70% to 80% of cervical cancers within Scotland but the vaccine has exceeded our expectations because it appears to have knocked out another theree high-risk HPV types which cause about 10% of cervical cancers"

They found just 0,5% of women from the 1995 group tested positive for the virus, compared with 21,4% of women born before 1990.
