Cervical cancer vaccine available
Cervical cancer is caused by certain types of a common virus – it’s called human papillomavirus or HPV. HPV often has no symptoms, so many people don’t know they have it. A vaccine is now available that protects young women from the four types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers.
The vaccine is recommended for 11-and-12-year-old girls and young women age 13 to 26 who have not completed the vaccine series.
Call the Meade County Health Department at (270) 422-3988 to make an appointment. Don’t let a common virus impact your daughter’s future.
