HPV Cancer Prevention (Text Version)

1. [Image of clock with 20 minutes highlighted]
   HPV vaccine is cancer prevention.
   HPV vaccine protects against HPV types that most commonly cause anal, cervical, oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.
   Every year in the U.S., 27,000 people get cancer caused by HPV.
   That’s 1 person every 20 minutes of every day, all year long.
   Most of these cancers can be prevented by HPV vaccine.
2. [Image of prescription pad with words: Vaccines for your 11-12 year old: Tdap, HPV, Meningococcal HPV vaccine is recommended at the same time as other teen vaccines.
   Preteens need three vaccines at 11 or 12. They protect against whooping cough, cancers caused by HPV, and meningitis.

   HPV vaccine is best at 11-12 years. 
   Preteens have a higher immune response to HPV vaccine than older teens.
   While there is very little risk of exposure to HPV before age 13, the risk of exposure increase thereafter.

Parents and healthcare professionals are the key to protecting adolescents from HPV cancers.

Vaccinate your 11-12 year olds.
