Uptake of cervical screening has declined slightly since the 1990s, and is generally lower among young women than older women. Although the human papillomavirus vaccination programme is successful, some girls are still not being vaccinated. In addition, the programme may have a negative impact on the uptake of cervical screening, as young women may not realise they are still vulnerable to cervical cancer after vaccination. Nurses should encourage girls and young women to take up both HPV vaccination and cervical screening.
自20世纪90年代以来，宫颈癌筛查的参与率略有下降，而且年轻女性的参与率普遍低于年长女性。尽管人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种计划取得了成功，但仍有一些女孩未接种疫苗。此外，该计划可能会对宫颈癌筛查的参与率产生负面影响，因为年轻女性可能没有意识到接种疫苗后她们仍然易患宫颈癌。护士应鼓励女孩和年轻女性同时接受人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种和宫颈癌筛查。
