Protect Yourself
If you missed your HPV vaccination at school, you should try and have it as soon as possible.
The HPV vaccine helps protect you from being infected by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus increases the risk of developing some cancers later in life, such as cervical cancer, some mouth and throat cancers and some cancers of the anus and genital areas.
Contact your GP surgery if you were eligible for the HPV vaccine but did not get vaccinated.
