High Risk Areas: HPV infection is common worldwide Higher cervical cancer incidence in low- and middle-income countries with limited screening

Traveller Risk Factors: Adolescents and young adults (pre-sexual debut ideal) Adults up to age 45 not previously vaccinated Men who have sex with men Immunocompromised individuals

Protection Title: The HPV vaccine can train the body’s immune system.

Protection Description: The HPV vaccine can train the body’s immune system to resist certain types of HPVs before they cause infection. This will prevent people from being infected for an extended period, which can lead to cancer. When most people within the society are vaccinated, it prevents the spread of HPV within communities.
