HPV vaccination programs have led to a drop in cervical cancer rates among certain age groups in the U.K., according to a new study.

The HPV vaccine is offered to boys, in addition to girls, in Grade 7 across Ontario.

Ontario is expanding its free vaccine for the human papillomavirus or HPV to people aged 26 or younger who identify as gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men, including some transgender people.
