Vax 2 Stop Cancer

Men’s Health Week starts today. 💙

When people think about HPV, they often think about cervical cancer…but HPV affects men too!

HPV can cause several types of cancer in men, including oropharyngeal (throat), a**l, and pe**le cancers. HPV can also cause ge***al warts. In fact, HPV related throat cancer is the most commonly diagnosed HPV -associated cancer surpassing cervical cancer diagnoses. HPV vaccination can prevent HPV-related cancers before they start.

Follow along this week as we share more facts about HPV and men’s health!

Research saves lives. Thanks to more than 20 years of research and monitoring, the HPV vaccine has been shown to be safe, effective, and long-lasting in preventing HPV infections that can lead to cancer later in life💜

Today, we’re already seeing real-world declines in HPV infections, precancers, and 6 different HPV-related cancers because of vaccination!

This National Cancer Research Month, we celebrate the science helping prevent cancer before it starts 🙏✔️
