Let us all be #UnitedInProtection. Vaccination of girls and boys against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) can prevent infections and related diseases. HPV infections can lead to genital warts, cervical and other forms of cancer. Vaccination should be combined with routine cervical screening. Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is supporting efforts to extend routine vaccination against human papillomaviruses of girls and boys.

One of 10 flagship initiatives in the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is to support Member State efforts to extend routine vaccination against viruses that can cause cancers later in life. The Commission will propose actions to increase the uptake of vaccination against the Hepatitis B virus and human papillomaviruses. These actions will include reducing physical obstacles to vaccination, targeted communication, and fighting mis- and disinformation.
