HPV Vaccine: Who needs it and how it works
March 4th is HPV Awareness Day!
Almost all of us will have HPV at some point and while for most of us it isn't harmful, HPV is linked to several kinds of cancer. This site provides information to help learn about HPV and reduce your cancer risks. This opens in a new window.
HPV, or Human Papillomavirus, is a common virus that can cause 6 types of cancer. While there is no treatment for HPV, there is a vaccine that can prevent it. If your son or daughter is between ages 9 and 12, talk to their doctor about the HPV vaccine. The vaccine is safe, effective, and long-lasting. Vaccinating your child at the recommended ages can help keep them healthy well into adulthood and is the best way to prevent HPV cancers later in life. Sources for this information are found at American Cancer Center.
