Amazing to see and just how effective the HPV vaccine is. If you missed it in school, you can still have it up to the age of 25 for free, you can contact your GP to arrange this

The HPV vaccine is saving lives.

New research by Queen Mary University of London and Cancer Research UK shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and some other cancers.

Both girls and boys can get protection from high-risk HPV by having the HPV vaccination in their teenage years. It not only protects against cervical cancer, but other types of cancer too.

You can help protect your child by giving consent for them to have their vaccination when invited.

And remember: cervical screening is still important, even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

We have an opportunity to run our first ever hospital fitting clinic session delivered by the Boost Team at Plymouth's Derriford Hospital, Devon, UK.

People who are interested in getting an NHS Boost in Plymouth you will need to call the Breast Care Team on 01752 431898 to let them know.

Let's show the NHS why offering more choice to women after breast cancer is so important!

If you are a member of any other online support groups and you can share this, please do. Helping us to spread the word would be wonderful - we need to reach as many women in Plymouth and the surrounding areas as we can.

Huge thanks as always for your support ❤️
