Today, 4 March, we are marking HPV Awareness Day.

Human papillomavirus or HPV is very common and most people will have it at some point without realising. HPV is now a leading cause of mouth cancer, especially in the back of the throat, the base of the tongue and the tonsils. The HPV vaccine protects against the most harmful types.

To protect yourself:

• Vaccination is available for young people up to 25 and for other groups until 45*
• Keep up-to-date with your routine dental check‑ups.
• Talk openly about HPV to reduce stigma.

*Our Immunisation Team offers the vaccine to children aged twelve to thirteen at school, but can also offer catch up vaccinations to age 19. Ask your GP if you can access the vaccine if you're aged 19 to 25. Our Sexual Health Service will also vaccinate gay or bis*xual men who have s*x with men (MSM) up to age 45 and trans women who have s*x with men against HPV.
