Ten years after England began vaccinating 12- to 13-year-olds with the bivalent HPV vaccine, cervical cancer in that cohort had fallen by 87% and severe precancer (CIN3) by 97%.
A population-based observational study used English cancer registry data from 2006 to 2019 to compare cervical cancer and CIN3 rates in cohorts offered the bivalent vaccine (Cervarix) at ages 12-13, 14-16 and 16-18 with earlier, unvaccinated cohorts, adjusting for changes in screening.
Relative reductions in cervical cancer were 87% in the cohort offered vaccination at 12-13, 62% at 14-16 and 34% at 16-18. CIN3 fell by 97%, 75% and 39% respectively. The authors estimated about 450 fewer cervical cancers and 17,200 fewer CIN3 cases by mid-2019.
This confirmed the Swedish finding with a different vaccine and a school-based programme with high coverage.
School-based vaccination at 12-13 with high uptake nearly abolishes cervical cancer in vaccinated cohorts, even with a vaccine covering only two HPV types. Screening intervals and the future of cervical screening can now be redesigned around vaccination status.
