Increasing HPV Vaccination Rates in Delaware
HPV Vaccination is Cancer Prevention
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is estimated to cause nearly 35,000 cases of cancer in men and women every year in the U.S. HPV vaccination can prevent 90% of these cancers by preventing the infections that cause them.
The CDC recommends that all children aged 11 to 12 years should get the HPV vaccine series to protect them against cancers caused by HPV infections.
