Description

This pamphlet is designed to inform you of an important cervical cancer prevention breakthrough for girls and women ages 9–26. The thought of anyone getting cancer can be scary. Fortunately, a combination of vaccination and regular Pap tests will make cervical cancer one of the most preventable types of cancer. But the vaccination must be given early — it is recommended for girls 11–12, but girls and young women between the ages of 9–26 also may be vaccinated.
