Think pharmacy first 👇

Your pharmacist can provide you with the emergency contraceptive pill (morning after pill) for free, without you seeing your GP. They can also discuss long-term contraception options with you at the same time.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can cause certain types of cancer and ge***al warts. The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect yourself and others from these risks.

💉 The vaccine is available for:
✔️ All children aged 12-13 (offered in schools)
✔️ Anyone eligible who missed it at school – you can still get vaccinated for free up to age 25
✔️ Men who have s*x with men (MSM) up to age 45
✔️ Others at higher risk, including some immunocompromised individuals

HPV is spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, so vaccination is the best way to prevent infection and protect future health.

📌 Think you’re eligible? Find out more and check where to get vaccinated: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/hpv-vaccine/
