FREE Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Catch-up Clinics
Peel Public Health Is Offering Free HPV Immunization Catch-Up Clinics
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that infects the skin and genital area; and is associated with genital warts and cervical cancer.
The HPV vaccine is safe and provides protection against four types of HPV. Types 16 and 18 are associated with cervical cancer while Types 6 and 11 are associated with genital warts.
The vaccine is given in a three-dose series. All three doses are needed to provide protection against HPV.
