How Does the HPV Vaccine Prevent Oral Cancer?💉
The HPV vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), especially types 16 and 18, linked to many oral cancers. By preventing these HPV infections, the vaccine reduces the risk of the virus causing cell changes that can lead to cancer in the mouth and throat. This makes the vaccine a powerful tool in cancer prevention.

🌟 Stay Protected, Stay Informed! 🌟
