David Currow, the head of Cancer Australia, a government body which assists with research and education, warned that the vaccine may not prevent all skin cancers. "As we've seen with cervical cancer, although it may deal with 70% of cancers of the cervix, the vaccine doesn't deal with the other 30%," he said. "And so it is with a vaccine related to skin cancer. The message is still that one of the most powerful things that we can do is reduce the risk by reducing our exposure to sunlight."
