When your daughter went back to school this fall, you probably checked a lot of items off your “to do” list: school supplies, check; new clothes, check; etc. One thing you might have forgotten is to have her vaccinated for human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer. You’ve heard the news that the FDA has approved the first HPV vaccine for girls and women ages 9–26. And you may have heard that the CDC recommends that all 11–13 year old girls get vaccinated. But you might have thought, “There’s time yet, she’s still young,” or, “I don’t know if our insurance will cover it, and we can’t afford to pay for it on our own.” Don’t worry. Three Missouri and Kansas City-area foundations are making it easier for girls and young women 9–26 to get vaccinated even if they or their families can’t afford it. To find more information about HPV, the vaccine, and participating health centers nearest you, visit the Missouri HPV Coalition Web site at www.mohpv.org.
