Target Audience
All interested healthcare providers.
Purpose
Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by infection with high-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus also has been linked to cancers of the vagina, vulva, anus, penis, and throat. HPV vaccination prevents infection by virus types that cause the vast majority of these cancers and genital warts, but the vaccine works only if given well before an infection occurs.
Vaccination at these younger ages also leads to a greater immune response. Despite the power of HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer, only one-third of adolescent girls have completed the 3-dose series. The CDC reports that vaccination coverage increased slightly between 2012 and 2013 with another slight increase between 2013 and 2014, the President’s Cancer Panel released a report calling “underuse of HPV vaccines a serious but correctable threat to progress against cancer.”
