[VaccinesToday @VaccinesToday]

The challenges facing #HPV prevention and cervical cancer elimination require innovation & creativity. After almost 2 decades, many still don’t make the connection between HPV and #CervicalCancer , and many are waylaid by misinformation. #InformAndProtect https://t.co/SYe8Q3V7Lk

[World Health Organization South-East Asia @WHOSEARO]

Together, we can eliminate #cervicalcancer.

[UNFPA in Nepal @UNFPANepal]

Among Nepali women, #CervicalCancer is the top cancer with 2244 new cases each year.

Did you know that it is preventable through early screening & HPV vaccination?

This #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth , let's stay informed, and advocate for increased vaccinations and screening.

[STV News @STVNews]

No cervical cancer cases have been detected in women who have been fully vaccinated against HPV, Public Health Scotland has revealed.

We're seeing pretty stunning effects from the HPV vaccines, approved in 2006. The age group eligible for the vaccines (now age 20-24) saw a whopping 65% drop in cervical cancer from 2012 to 2019, according to @AmericanCancer.

Emerging evidence suggests that just one dose of the HPV vaccine is as effective as two or three. That has huge implications for the battle against cervical cancer

🙏 Dr. Harald Zur Hausen

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

Dr. Harald zur Hausen, a German virologist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2008 for his discovery that the seemingly benign human papillomavirus, known for causing warts, also caused cervical cancer, has died at 87. https://t.co/i7qNI4FZdE

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

Too many girls have missed out on #HPV vaccines. Yet, one dose of HPV vaccine can protect against viruses that cause cervical cancer. Ending cervical cancer everywhere is possible if communities have access to preventive, screening and treatment tools. https://t.co/yrTfj8hOJe

[Medicine's Bizarre History @FaisalGhani_]

GYNAECOLOGISTS . . . KNOW WHY PAP SMEAR IS CALLED PAP SMEAR?

A Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It is named after Greek physician, zoologist and microscopist Georgios Nikolaou Papanikolaou (1883-1962).

[Sadeep Shrestha PhD MHS MS @Sadeep_PhD]

Millions of girls and women don’t have access to vaccines against #HPV or screening and treatment services for #cervicalcancer. We can and must do better. @IPVSociety

In Nepal, around 14 per 100,000 women👩‍🦰die from #CervicalCancer every year. It is 1⃣ of the most common forms of #cancer among women👩‍🦰, yet also among the most preventable ones. With vaccination💉against #HPV & #CervicalScreening you can stop it before it starts. #ProjectHorizon
