a QUARTER of young girls are forsaking a life-saving cervical cancer vaccine because of ignorance.

Two studies suggested a lack of knowledge was to blame for many girls aged 12-13 not taking up the vaccine, Cancer Council spokeswoman Kate Broun said.

The Gardasil jab, which protects against two strains of the human papillomavirus, the cause of 70 per cent of cervical cancers, is provided free to schoolgirls under a federal government program.

Of almost 3000 year 10 and 12 students interviewed in one study, only a third had heard of the virus, while more than half did not know it was sexually transmitted, and almost two-thirds were not aware it caused cervical cancer. Those numbers would likely be even lower in schoolgirls aged 12-13, Ms Broun said.

The second study found parents knew little about the vaccine, with many unsure whether their daughter should have it.

Some parents did not trust medical experts who favoured the vaccine and were concerned it "condoned" early sexual activity, despite evidence to the contrary.

Infection was common, and typically had no symptoms, but it could have very serious consequences – which was why the vaccine was so important, Ms Broun said.

"These research findings suggest that knowledge about HPV and this vaccine … is really quite low among teenage girls and their parents," she said.

With a better understanding of the serious consequences of HPV infection and vaccination, parents would be far more likely to give consent for it, she said.

The Gardasil vaccine was a major leap forward, and, if all eligible girls were vaccinated, 70 per cent of cervical cancers would be eradicated.

A SHAW woman who waged a two-and-a-half year battle against cervical cancer has joined Oldham’s Macmillan nurses to send out a vital message which could save lives. Nicola Craffey has thrown her weight behind campaigns to raise awareness of the symptoms in a bid to encourage women to have cervical screening. the 30-year-old, of Britannia Avenue, is in remission after undergoing a radical hysterectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy following her diagnosis in 2008. And she is supporting this week’s Cervical Cancer Prevention Week with its message: screening can save your life. Cervical cancer is a preventable disease but despite this two in 10 women failed to take up invitations for screening in the UK last year. In addition, only half of girls offered the HPV vaccine in a catch-up programme, chose to have the potentially life-saving jab. More than 2,800 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year in the UK, and nearly 1,000 women die from it. after breast cancer, it is the second most common cancer in women aged 35 and under. it was brought to the fore two years ago when reality TV star Jade Goody died from the disease at the age of 27. she campaigned relentlessly during the last few weeks of her life to highlight the importance of cervical screening, and this week’s event echoes that message. A stand will be in the glass tunnel entrance at he Royal Oldham Hospital for the rest of the week, with information supplied by Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust (Jo’s Trust). it is the the only UK charity dedicated to women and their families affected by cervical cancer and cervical abnormalities. Amanda Storey, Gynaecology Macmillan nurse at the Royal Oldham Hospital said: “our goal for Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is to promote the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer which women may experience. “we need to encourage women to attend for their smear tests, and if they are not happy to go back to their GP for a further consultation.” Signs and symptoms of cervical cancer include abnormal bleeding during sexual intercourse, between periods or post menopause, an unusual or unpleasant discharge, discomfort or pain during sex, and lower back pain. the week coincides with the launch of Jo’s Trust Helpline on 0808-802 8000, which provides information and support on a range of topics from screening concerns to cervical abnormalities, cancer, treatment and survivorship issues, to patients, carers and friends. Nicola is working with Jo’s Trust and Macmillan to set up a support group for women affected by cervical cancer and their families. for more information on Jo’s Trust visit jostrust.org.uk
