Description:

Every year, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,000 women die from this disease in the U.S. Two vaccines are currently available to prevent the human papillomavirus (HPV) types that cause most cervical cancers. Both vaccines are highly effective in preventing the targeted HPV types in men and women, as well as the most common health problems caused by them. This webinar is designed to inform clinicians about the HPV vaccine and promote increased usage in the clinical setting.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

Explain how the HPV vaccine works, its usage, and safety.

Identify methods for educating patients and implementing HPV vaccination in clinical settings.
