✔️ Ages 11–12 (can start as early as age 9)
✔️ Catch-up vaccination recommended through age 26
✔️ Ages 27–45: May still benefit- talk with a healthcare provider to decide if it’s right for you

🛡️ Safe & highly effective
The HPV vaccine has been studied for years and is proven to reduce HPV-related cancers.

👨‍👩‍👧 Best protection happens before exposure

💙 January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers thanks to routine screening, early detection, and ongoing advances in women’s health care. Because cervical cancer often has no early warning signs, regular screening is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health.

Pap smears and HPV testing play a vital role in detecting abnormal cervical cell changes early—often before cancer ever develops. When identified early, these changes can be monitored or treated, significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer.

At Taylor & Karoly, we are committed to providing comprehensive preventive care, patient education, and compassionate support at every stage of life. Our goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your health care decisions.

📅 Are you due for cervical cancer screening?
If you’re unsure when your last Pap smear or HPV test was, or if you have questions about current screening recommendations, we encourage you to schedule an appointment.
