HPV vaccination prevents 6 types of cancer.
The HPV vaccination can prevent six types of cancer when it’s administered before a child is exposed to the virus. Increased vaccination rates happen when we all work together towards cancer prevention BOTH in the doctor’s office and in the community.
Increasing vaccination rates to 80% among 9 and 12 year olds could prevent 90% of HPV-related cancers, and 34,000 fewer people would hear the words “You have cancer” every year.
The Texas HPV Coalition was formed to enhance collaboration and communication among stakeholders, providers, academic researchers, professional organizations, and nonprofit agencies to ensure more young Texans are protected against HPV-related cancers.
