Province urged to vaccinate youth against HPV early and free
A northern medical group calls on the provincial government to vaccinate students against HPV in grades 6 and 9 and to provide the vaccine free of charge for ages nine to 26. Dr. Don Davis notes vaccination before sexual activity maximizes protection and stresses ongoing cancer screening and public education alongside a school based program planned for 2008/09. Gardasil, Health Canada approved, requires three injections and protects against HPV strains linked to most cervical cancers and genital warts. The plan aims to align with other immunizations and remains voluntary with uncertain funding and grade targeting.
