Well, vaccination does not completely obliterate the problem, but it makes it far less likely to appear.
Not strictly true am afraid - there is no vaccine that protects against all strains of HPV, or all of the ones that can cause cancer. Plus not all women get them. It is a step in the right direction but still good to be cautious.
Thanks for this!
