🎯HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is extremely common, affecting 4 in 5 people at some point. It spreads easily through close contact, so many individuals encounter it without being vaccinated.
💙With HPV Awareness Day upon us, it’s a timely moment to check in on your health and the steps you can take to protect it. The HPV vaccine protects against strains linked to several cancers, and in New Zealand, it’s fully funded for ages 9–27. People with a cervix should also keep up with regular cervical screening.
📋You can schedule your cervical screening or HPV vaccination with us at any time. Find out more about HPV at https://www.hpv.org.nz/about-hpv/about-hpv
