Today, 62 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Centers, national organizations, and the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center released a statement reinforcing the importance of HPV vaccination and urging health systems, providers, parents, caregivers, and the public to take action to increase HPV vaccination coverage.

HPV vaccination is safe and protects against six types of cancer – including oropharyngeal, cervical, and a**l cancers.

Recent data show no gains in HPV vaccination coverage, falling short of national goals.

We must act now to protect today’s children from future HPV-related cancers.

What you can do:
✅ Parents – ask your child’s doctor about HPV vaccination starting at age 9.
✅ Providers – recommend HPV vaccination at every visit.
✅ Communities – spread the word: HPV vaccination is cancer prevention.

Join us in sharing the facts about HPV vaccination and increasing the number of children protected today against HPV cancers tomorrow.
