This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.
Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.
I live in the US, but my mom wouldn’t let me get it because “it’s only for people who sleep around” and something something it’s actually bad for you anti-vax bullshit. The implication being that if I got cervical cancer from HPV I would have fucking deserved it.
I got it later as an adult, because it bothered me not to have it even though I’m divorced and single AF, because fuck you mom, and you never know I guess.
