All young people and young adults are offered a free HPV vaccination.
HPV stands for Human Papillomavirus , This is a very common group of viruses that spread through skin to skin contact. A few high-risk types of these viruses can cause genital warts and 7 different types of cancer, such as, some head and neck cancers, and cancers of the cervix.
It is important that you get this vaccination when you are offered it , most people only need one dose and this is given as an injection in the arm by a nurse or a doctor .The vaccination is safe, and more importantly, very effective, as 10 million doses have been given to people like you since 2008 and we have seen a huge 87% fall in these types of cancers in people who have been vaccinated.
So make sure you join the growing community of people who are vaccinated against these diseases.
