HPV Vaccination Is Cancer Prevention - Teen Girl

#DYK? HPV vaccination = cancer prevention! Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that nearly everyone will be exposed to at some point in their lifetime and can cause cancer later in life in both men and women. Specifically, HPV infection can cause cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, head, and neck. The best protection against HPV and its related cancers is vaccination before exposure to HPV. The @American Academy of Pediatrics and the @American Cancer Society recommend HPV vaccination for males and females starting at age 9. HPV immunization is an effective way to protect against HPV and the cancers it can cause. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more and to find out if HPV vaccination is recommended for your child.
