Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13.

Vaccines are incredible.

@luckytran Too bad that there are some diseases that vaccines seem to produce lifetime immunity for, and others (influenza and COVID) where they are much less effective. I still get flu shots and covid boosters on a regular basis but I wish they worked better.

@not2b @luckytran Different viruses are different. The influenza and covid mutate easily, which means it is hard to have a one off vaccine for because you have to basically teach the body what it looks like regularly.

@ariaflame @luckytran I know this, and what is surprising to me is that other viruses aren't as good at mutating to get around vaccines.
