Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
CDC now recommends 11 to 12 year olds get two doses of HPV vaccine—rather than the previously recommended three doses—to protect against cancers caused by HPV. The second dose should be given 6-12 months after the first dose.
For information regarding HPV and the vaccine, please take a few moments to read the attached letter from the State Health Commissioner and frequently asked questions.
