Key facts about HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

➡️ 4 out of 5 people get HPV at some time in their life. There are over 100 strains of HPV. Some of these are called ‘high-risk’ as they may lead to certain cancers, including cervical, pe**le and a**l.

➡️ All 12 and 13-year-olds in Year 8 are offered the HPV vaccine to help prevent certain cancers. If your child was eligible for the vaccine and missed out at school, please contact the School Aged Immunisation Team

➡️ The HPV vaccination can help stop cervical cancer from developing. The HPV vaccine protects against most high-risk HPV strains but it’s important you attend your cervical screening appointment even if have been vaccinated.

➡️ HPV vaccination and cervical screening together gives us the best chance of eradicating cervical cancer. So please, get the HPV vaccine and book your cervical screening when invited.
