Have You Been Saved?

HPV infection rates have dropped by a staggering 50 percent in U.S. teen girls since the introduction of the HPV vaccine. This is despite the low uptake rate; only about a third of teens 13 to 17 have received the full course of three shots.  

The low vaccination rate in the United States means that 50,000 girls alive today will eventually develop fatal cervical cancer.  For every year the rate lags, another 4,400 girls will develop cervical cancer in their lifetimes.

Have the teenage girls in your life had the shots?
