The HPV vaccine protects against nine different strains of the HPV virus, which can cause several types of cancer including cervical cancer.
The earlier cervical cancer is detected, the better the outcome, which is why it s so important to attend for routine screening.
HPV screening was introduced last year as the new CervicalCheck screening programme. It tests all samples for HPV, rather than just those with abnormal cells, and is more effective than the previous system.
