January is cervical health awareness month. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is for adolescents 9-12 years of age (or older). HPV infection can cause 6 types of cancer, including most cervical cancers. HPV vaccination can prevent more than 90% of these cancers later in life. Recent data from MDH shows that Black, Asian, Hispanic, and American Indian Minnesotans are more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer than other races and Asian Minnesotans are two and a half times more likely to die from cervical cancer.

⚠️ PSA: Winter Coats and Car Seats Don't Mix! ⚠️ Bulky jackets and snowsuits compress in a crash, leaving too much space between your child and the harness. The fix? First, buckle the harness snugly without the coat. Keep your child warm by covering them with a coat or a blanket over the buckled and tightened straps.
