CDC Provides Funding to Increase HPV Vaccination

Every year, more than 30,000 human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers  are diagnosed. Many  of these could have been prevented by HPV vaccination. The HPV vaccine is  recommended for boys and girls at age 11 or 12. To increase awareness that the HPV vaccine is cancer prevention, CDC has  funded the American Cancer Society to work with partners to promote  activities that improve HPV vaccination delivery. The National HPV Vaccination Roundtable will bring together immunization a nd cancer prevention stakeholders to provide education, outreach, and training  to the public and to health care providers. Through engagement and  coordination with experts in immunization and cancer, the Roundtable  will help promote and implement HPV vaccination, preventing future cancers.
