London’s leading female gynaecologist, Miss Adeola Olaitan is warning people of the dangers of buying HPV vaccine over the internet for self administration. She says; “I do not know how many people are doing this, but clearly some people are and this practice should be utterly discouraged”. The evidence for HPV vaccination in the prevention of cervical cancer is excellent but patients should not feel pressurised into taking matters into their own hands as this is clearly dangerous. Furthermore, Miss Olaitan says that it will be many years before the vaccination programme has an effect upon cervical cancer incidence so women are advised to continue accepting their invitations for cervical screening.
