What is the HPV vaccine for?
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. and can cause genital warts, cervical cancer, cancer of the penis, and less common cancers of the anus and throat. These safe, effective vaccines are available to protect females and males against some of the most common HPV types and the health problems that the virus can cause.
