An international review of the HPV vaccine has found it's both effective and safe.

The study, published in the Cochrane Library, looked at 73,000 women, and found the vaccine protects against cervical lesions.

It also found the injection did not appear to increase the risk of serious side effects, such as miscarriage.

In New Zealand, the vaccine is free for anyone aged between nine and 26 years old.
