Cervical Cancer Vaccine Now Available at Women’s Care

A new vaccination available at Women’s Care guards against human papillomavirus (HPV), the common sexually transmitted disease that causes 70% of cervical cancer.

The vaccination is recommended for girls and women aged 13 to 26, ideally given before they become sexually active. Administered in a series of three injections over a six-month period, the vaccination is proven to be more than 95% effective.

At Women’s Care, we encourage adult women to speak to pediatricians about vaccinations for their daughters and to their gynecologist or primary care physician about the vaccination for themselves. We also urge women to get annual pap tests, since cervical cancer can also be prevented through screening and early detection.
