A member asked:
Is it possible to have cervical cancer even if you just got the shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: Cancer cells take a while to form. Mutations occur in normal cells that make them behave in a manner out of sync with normal tissue. They multiply, invade other tissues and spread to other organs in an unnatural manner. It's quite possible someone could have a cervical cancer not yet detected. In this case, the vaccine can't prevent it. Also, though effective, the vaccine isn't 100% fullproof
