We are excited to announce the release of our latest issue brief, HPV-Related Cancers and Vaccination Coverage in Wisconsin.
This timely new Issue Brief examines statewide HPV-related cancer trends, offers strategies to prevent cancer by increasing HPV vaccination among girls and boys in Wisconsin, and explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected HPV vaccine access and uptake.
HPV is a common virus that causes six types of cancer in men and women. The most common HPV-related cancer in Wisconsin is oropharyngeal cancer (affecting areas of the mouth and throat), which is twice as common among men.
The HPV vaccine can prevent these cancers. Unfortunately, the majority of Wisconsin children are not getting the HPV vaccine. Boys are especially at risk of not getting vaccinated.
Read the Issue Brief to learn more about HPV-related cancers in Wisconsin and how you can improve HPV vaccination rates in your community.
