Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Girls returning to school this week are being encouraged to ensure they receive all three doses of the cervical cancer jab.
Schoolgirls will be given a new injection which also protects against genital warts. Gardasil guards against two strains of the human papillomavirus virus which cause 70 per cent of cases of cervical cancer, as well as strains that cause lesions and genital warts.
Director of the Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, Robert Music, said: "It's important that everyone involved in the programme... reminds girls who are no longer in year eight but aged 17 and below that they can still have the vaccine on the NHS." PA
