HPV Vaccine Uptake in Cancer Centers

Overview

In response to the President’s Cancer Panel’s Report "Accelerating HPV Vaccination Uptake: Urgency for Action to Prevent Cancer", three rounds of supplements were issued to NCI-designated cancer centers that focused on increasing HPV vaccination rates in regions with low HPV vaccination uptake.

The HPV Cancer Center Consortium emerged as part of a broader initiative that brought together cancer centers, researchers, and healthcare practitioners with the shared goal of increasing HPV vaccine utilization and reducing HPV-related cancers.

This Consortium was dedicated to cancer control, conducting research, strategic planning, fostering professional collaborations, and implementing initiatives to enhance healthcare.
