So it seems like the HPV vaccine is effective, which is good. I'm glad that future generations won't have to deal with cervical cancer as much as we have.

Yes, great news!

Here is an article for lukers http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/22/h...age-girls-study-says.html?mwrsm=Facebook&_r=0

Prevalence is down by nearly two thirds for teenagers, and that's with relatively low vaccine uptake. Imagine if we could get 90%+ vaccinated how much it would drop?

Great news. Always nice to see proper studies of effectiveness getting press.
