Cervical cancer was once one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among American women. Since the 1970s the cervical cancer death rate has declined by over 50% because of increased awareness, screening, and prevention, especially through HPV vaccinations. The HPV vaccine is safe, effective, and can protect you against strains of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. You can receive HPV vaccines at low or no-cost through the Title X Family Planning program. For questions about HPV, cervical cancer, to find a Title X clinic near you, or to find out if you are eligible for low or no-cost cervical cancer screenings through the Pennsylvania Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (PA-BCCEDP), call AccessMatters’ Information Hotline at 215-935-3300, or text the Hotline at 833-667-3377.
