We encourage all teenage girls to have the vaccine when offered it. The vaccine programme, together with cervical screening, have the potential to reduce cervical cancer to the point where almost no women develop it. Fewer cervical cancers will significantly affect the current screening programme, and work is ongoing to see what changes might be needed in the future.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 11/11/2021 16:41:34 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
