Experts push for HPV vaccine to prevent rise in cancer cases.
An awareness campaign is underway to promote the HPV vaccine, which can help prevent several types of cancer. While most parents of tweens have heard about it, many adults who could benefit from the shot don’t realize it. HPV-related throat cancer is predicted to soon be one of the most prevalent types of cancer among those aged 45 to 65. Doctors encourage vaccination, not just for kids, but for adults up to age 45. Increasing awareness among both adults and parents is a powerful tool to improve HPV vaccination rates and prevent future cancers.
