Disease Overview
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can lead to several cancers, including cervical, anal, throat, and penile cancers, as well as genital warts. HPV is primarily spread through sexual contact, and most people will contract it at some point in their lives without vaccination.
Why Take the Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing the types of HPV that cause most HPV-related cancers and genital warts. It is recommended for preteens (boys and girls) starting at age 11 or 12 but can be given up to age 26. Getting vaccinated before exposure to the virus offers the best protection. By choosing HPV vaccination, you’re investing in long-term health and cancer prevention. Schedule your appointment today to reduce your risk of HPV-related diseases.
