💉 New HPV Vaccine Website – Information for Families and Professionals

Did you know the HPV vaccine can help prevent several types of cancers and ge***al warts in both boys and girls? 🌟

A new website, HPV Inform, has been launched to provide accurate, reliable information about the HPV vaccine for teenagers, parents, carers, and professionals. It’s full of resources to help families make informed decisions and support young people getting vaccinated at school.

The site includes:
✅ What HPV is and the illnesses it can cause
✅ How the HPV vaccine protects against cancer and ge***al warts
✅ Vaccine safety and potential side effects
✅ How and where to get the vaccine
✅ Tips for young people receiving the vaccine at school

The HPV vaccination programme has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related illnesses. High uptake is key to keeping our communities healthy.

Let’s protect our young people together! 💙
