A member asked:

Where are vaccines to prevent the cause of the developments of cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HPV Vaccines: Vaccines train the immune system to fight off infections. The hpv vaccines Gardasil & Cervarix prevent infection with the virus that causes almost all cervix cancers and many other cancers like anal & head and neck cancers. High blood pressure is not caused by an infection. Some scientists speculate a virus may cause some cases of diabetes, but that infection has not been identified.
