Girls from black and Asian ethnic minorities are less likely to be vaccinated against cervical cancer, research suggests.
In a survey by University College London of 2,000 teenagers from 13 London schools, unvaccinated girls also said they would be less likely to go for a smear test when adults.
The HPV vaccine is offered to all girls aged 12-13 in schools across the UK.
Girls who are not vaccinated have an increased risk of cervical cancer.
