Communication

What you say and how you say it matters. These resources are designed to help you communicate the importance of HPV vaccination in preventing cancer. See below for general HPV information resources. The Adolescent Patients and Parent/Guardian links include customized resources.

As of October 2016, CDC recommends 11 to 12 year olds get two doses of HPV vaccine—rather than the previously recommended three doses—to protect against cancers caused by HPV. The second dose should be given 6-12 months after the first dose. View additional information on the updated CDC recommendations.
