HPV is a virus that can cause cancer. It spreads easily and infects many people.
The Health Insurance Fund will start sending SMS notifications to parents. These will help remind them about HPV vaccination.
The HPV vaccine is free for 12–18-year-olds. The vaccine can now also be obtained at a family doctor's office.
Summer is a good time to get vaccinated because schools are closed. Family doctors are open and there is more time.
The vaccine is simple and quick. One dose is enough to protect against several diseases.
Those under 18 need parental consent. 18-year-olds can decide for themselves.
Doctors recommend vaccination. It is the best way to prevent serious illnesses.
If a child did not receive the vaccine at school, they can now get it at the family doctor's office. Don't put it off!
