Dear Parent / Carer of Year 8 students

We are inviting your child to be vaccinated against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The HPV vaccine helps protect boys and girls against certain cancers which can be caused by the HPV infection. These include:
• Some mouth and throat cancers.
• Cervical cancer.
• Cancers of the penis and genital area
• Genital warts.
The HPV vaccination is now given as a single dose which gives long-lasting protection. Further information about this vaccine is available from https://family.kentcht.nhs.uk/teenimms.
