That’s more evidence to show the HPV vaccine is working to prevent some cancers. The estimates were published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is very common and is spread through sex. Most HPV infections cause no symptoms and clear up without treatment. Others develop into cancer, about 37,000 cases a year.
