Since 2008 girls in Scotland are offered a vaccination against the human papilloma virus. The virus accounts for around 90% of all cervical cancers. In tests it has been found now that women born before 1990 carry the virus to 21%, however, women from the 1995 group only to 0.5%. Hence it can be expected that the cases of cervical cancer will dramatically fall in the next few years.
