Every year, human papillomavirus (HPV) causes approximately 31,500 cancers in the United States which includes an estimated 262 Iowans. The good news is over 80 percent of these cancers can be prevented with the HPV vaccine. Vaccinating adolescents now with HPV vaccine will provide protection throughout their lives.

A parent or guardian must accompany the child to sign permission forms prior to immunization.
