WordPress Category description and Pagination (Duplicate Content)

Hi All,

How can i stop the wordpress description from appearing on all the category pages apart from the first one?

this is the code iam using to pull the wordpress description:

<?php echo term_description( '', get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>

It appears great on the first page of the category but it also appears on every single other category page while using pagination.

Can someone help?

I would like the wordpress description to appear on the first page of the each category but not any other paginated pages.

Thanks!
