And for our HPV Vaccine Flyering campaign….


Help protect yourself against cervical cancer;

Get the HPV vaccine!

In 2006, the FDA approved Gardasil, the HPV vaccine. It prevents against two strains of HPV, 16 and 18, which are responsible for 70% of all cervical cancers and most vaginal and vulvar cancers.
The vaccine also protects against HPV strains 6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts cases.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is extremely common. At least 50% of sexually active people will be exposed to HPV. Every year, 6.2 million people are affected. It is most common in young men and women in their late teens and early 20s. Some strains of HPV can infect a woman’s cervix and cause cells to become cancerous over time.

Protect Yourself From Cervical Cancer!
Cervical cancer is the 8th most common cancer for women in the U.S., and the 2nd most common cancer for women worldwide. The American Cancer Society estimates that 11,150 women will be diagnosed in 2007, and 3,670 women will die this year in the U.S. from cervical cancer.
The vaccine is approved for girls/women ages 9-26. It is ideal for women to have before they become sexually active and are exposed to HPV. However, women who are already sexually active may still benefit from the vaccine as long as they have not already been exposed to the cancer-causing strains.
Get Vaccinated!
Contact your doctor or Vaden as soon as possible.
Vaden offers the vaccine for $135/injection for a series of 3 injections. Call (650) 498-2336 for an appointment.
Contact your insurance company to see if the vaccine is covered.
Keep in Mind…
Vaccination does not mean women can stop having Pap smears and pelvic exams. The vaccine does not work if a woman is already infected.
