I think, cervical cancer vaccine is necessary to all the women out there. I got mine this January. It is one type of cancer that women can prevent. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. Because of the pap smear test, the number of cervical cancer cases dropped over the past 20 years, and I think that's a good news for all of us women, but we still have to change our unhealthy lifestyle to prevent it. However many women still develop cervical cancer. In fact, over 9,000 women in the US alone, develop cervical cancer each year. So why risk your health? Get a cervical vaccine now. ;)

Changing one's lifestyle is indeed the greatest prevention not just to cervical cancer but to cancer in general. Its good to know that vaccines now are available to at least reduce the risk but certainly these are not 100% percent assurance that cervical cancer can't get through. But nevertheless, it's a breakthrough for us.

I think the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer is needed.Only one has to be sure that there are no side effects.Any vaccine which reduces the incidence of cancer is most welcome.A change in lifestyle of both men and women will greatly reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
