Summary

HPV (human papillomavirus) can lead to cancer in both men and women. Almost all HPV-related cancers can be prevented by the HPV vaccine, but many adolescents aren’t getting the vaccine. Strategies to make sure more adolescents get vaccinated include using vaccination information systems, sending patient reminders, and starting vaccination programs in schools.
