VACCINATION IS BETTER THAN SCREENING

"What's the need to write the same exact line from Google?" , This is what you all must be thinking

Well , let me tell you first that cervical cancer is very common and  is usually caused by human pappiloma virus which is present in males and can be sexually transmitted to females. There are several other factors like smoking , not maintaing personal hygiene , environmental factors , etc , etc. For more info , refer to google.com.

But the blessing in disguise is , it is curable and preventable. Unlike other cancers , it's vaccine is available and one can get it before 13 years of age (best) upto 25/26 years of age. After that , no vaccination , only screening could be done , i.e. pap smear test which should be done on a regular interval because symptoms are shown very late , probably during last stage of cervical cance

Hence , I would like to convey to all the young minds here that go and get yourself vaccinated. And spread this message of awareness to your mom , friends , relatives and everyone else within your reach. Because most of the people are not even aware of this. Please leave your embarassment aside and let's do good deed.

Prevention is better than cure. Hence , Vaccination is better than screening
