This disease can occur even after 60 years. Scientists have focused more on behavioral prevention than drug prevention. Cervical cancer vaccination can usually be taken from the age of 10 years. A total of 3 doses of vaccine should be taken. The second dose should be taken one month after the first dose and the third dose six months after the first dose. Regular check-ups along with vaccination can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Especially school-college students should be aware enough about this. Scout Rovers can undertake this work in various events and awareness meetings to make everyone aware.
