A RECENT case in Britain in which a 12-year-old girl was left paralysed after getting a new anti-cervical cancer vaccination has worried parents in Singapore.
But doctors here said that the jab - given pre-emptively to protect against cervical cancer later - is safe.
British doctors, too, insisted that schoolgirl Ashleigh Cave's paralysis was not caused by the vaccine, which uses an artificial virus to stimulate the body to defend itself against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is linked to cervical cancer.
