The Florida Department of Health Presents
The Cancer Free Florida Webinar Series
Efforts to Reduce HPV Related Cancer Burden in Florida through Vaccination
Overview
The development of an effective Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine
delivered to youth ages 9-26 has the potential to prevent numerous cancers
(head, neck, cervical, vaginal, penile, and anal). The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention estimate that annually, 26,000 new cancers are
attributable to HPV, about 17,000 in women and 9,000 in men[1]. Join us for
this webinar as we work to increase vaccination rates, leading to eliminating
all the cancers associated with HPV.
Learning objectives
- Describe the epidemiology of HPV related cancers
- Provide information about the potential of HPV vaccination to reduce the burden of HPV related cancers
- Share data on provider recommendation for HPV vaccine uptake
