HPV jabs cut risk of dying from cervical cancer before 30 to almost zero

A June 2026 Lancet study indicates HPV vaccination at ages 12 to 13 has nearly eliminated cervical cancer deaths for women under 30. The program in England is linked to a dramatic decline in mortality. This progress suggests the disease could be eliminated before the NHS 2040 target.

  1. HPV Vaccine Reduces Cervical Cancer Deaths in Young Women to Near Zero

    A June 2026 Lancet study indicates HPV vaccination at ages 12 to 13 has nearly eliminated cervical cancer deaths for women under 30. The program in England is linked to a dramatic decline in mortality. This progress suggests the disease could be eliminated before the NHS 2040 target.

    What's confirmed:

    • A June 2026 study in The Lancet found young women have a risk of cervical cancer death that is close to zero after the HPV jab.
    • The HPV vaccination program in England is associated with a dramatic decline in cervical cancer deaths.
    • The Lancet study examined age groups and the period between 2000 and 2024.
    • HPV causes nearly all cervical cancer.

    Still unconfirmed:

    • No one in the UK has died from cervical cancer in four years.
    • The vaccine has saved nearly 200 lives.
    confidence 90%

  2. HPV vaccine reduces cervical cancer death risk for young women to near zero

    A study in England shows that HPV vaccination at ages 12 to 13 has driven the risk of cervical cancer death before age 30 to almost zero. The vaccine is estimated to have saved nearly 200 lives. These results suggest the disease may be eliminated sooner than the NHS 2040 target.

    What's confirmed:

    • Young women vaccinated against HPV at ages 12 to 13 face a near-zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before age 30.
    • The HPV vaccine is estimated to have saved nearly 200 young women's lives.

    Still unconfirmed:

    • Cervical cancer elimination will be achieved earlier than the NHS goal of 2040.
    • HPV is the world's most common sexually transmitted disease.
    confidence 100%

  3. HPV vaccines reduce cervical cancer deaths before age 30 to near zero

    The HPV vaccine has effectively eliminated cervical cancer deaths for people under 30 in the UK. Research indicates the vaccine prevented 200 deaths in England. Experts now emphasize the importance of vaccinations for boys and men to lower cancer risks.

    What's confirmed:

    • The HPV vaccine reduced the risk of cervical cancer death before age 30 to effectively zero in the United Kingdom.

    Still unconfirmed:

    • The HPV vaccine prevented 200 deaths from cervical cancer in England.
    • Men who received the HPV vaccine had a 46% reduction in risk of developing HPV-related cancers.
    confidence 90%

  4. HPV Vaccine Reduces Cervical Cancer Death Risk to Nearly Zero for Young Women

    New research indicates that HPV vaccinations have significantly lowered cervical cancer deaths among young women. In England, deaths for women aged 20 to 24 fell to zero between 2020 and 2024. Experts warn that cases could rise if vaccination rates among teenagers decline.

    What's confirmed:

    • HPV vaccinations have reduced the risk of dying from cervical cancer before age 30 to almost zero.
    • There were no cervical cancer deaths among women aged 20 to 24 in England between 2020 and 2024.
    • The HPV vaccination program is preventing cervical cancer and saving lives.

    Still unconfirmed:

    • Around 200 lives in England have been saved so far due to the vaccine.
    • Hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the jab in 2008.
    confidence 90%
