    The HPV vaccine protects against several types of HPV that can cause cancer but it doesn’t protect against them all. So even if you've had the HPV vaccine, it's still important to go for cervical screening. Find out more at nhsinform.scot/cervicalscreen…
    Reminder to attend regular cervical screening even after receiving the HPV vaccine for ongoing health protection.
