# HPV vaccine had reduced cervical cancer by 70%. 

# HPV vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil), which prevent infection with the HPV types (16 and 18) that cause 70% of cervical cancer, may lead to further decreases.

# Gardasil also protect HPV types 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts

# The World Health Organization (WHO) position paper on HPV vaccination clearly outlines appropriate, cost-effective strategies for using HPV vaccine in public sector programs.

# In most countries they are approved only for female use, but are approved for male use in relevant countries like USA and UK. The vaccine does not have any therapeutic effect on existing HPV infections or cervical lesions.

This has been supported by Malaysian Health Minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. She said that “The cabinet has accepted and approved the Health Ministry’s proposal to provide the HPV vaccine, which is 98 % effective in preventing cervical cancer for all Form One students.”

U.S. statistics show there are 30 to 40 cervical cancer cases per , year per one million women between the ages of 9 and 26, which is the age bracket that Gardasil targets (and was tested on).

On the other hand, Gardasil was shown to reduce pre-cancers by 12.2% to 16.5% in the general population. So, instead of ending up with 30 to 40 cases of cancer per million, per year, in that age bracket, the HPV vaccine can potentially bring it down to 26 to 35 cases of cervical cancer.

It also says that in 90 percent of women infected, HPV clears up on its own within two years, at which point your cervical cells go back to normal. It is only when the HPV virus lingers for many years that these abnormal cells could turn into cancer.

so people , it's clear that HPV vaccines really helps women either preventing the disease or reducing it.

hopefuly, the info helps you !
