New cervical cancer vaccination service

The Eve Appeal welcomes the new Boots Cervical Cancer Vaccination Service, which is being launched in a further 134 stores across England and Wales on Friday 11th September 2009 after a successful pilot trial in ten London stores.

Says Jane Lyons, Director of The Eve Appeal, "We feel very positively about the work Boots is doing in this area.  It reaches women over 18 who fall outside the government's vaccination programme, allowing them to take more control over their health. In the long term this will help save women's lives and importantly, help raise awareness of cervical and other gynaecological cancers. The service also provides a great opportunity to further stress the importance of the cervical screening programme, which women, even if they have been vaccinated, must still attend."
