Back-to-School Showcase:
Resources to Help You Become an HPV Champion
Thank you for attending our June webinar, part of the PreteenVaxScene series featuring a Back to School Showcase and Resources to Help You Become an HPV Champion. Webinar is now available for viewing along with slides under Archived Webinars.
Quick recap:
Ian Branam of the CDC discussed their new HPV campaign for clinicians and consumers, as well as new and updated resources health care professionals can use this back-to-school season. Jennifer Sienko from the National HPV Vaccination Roundtable shared their summer 2018 “Power to Prevent” campaign, which includes brand-new resources for all health care professionals who play a role in HPV cancer prevention and a comprehensive communications toolkit.
With National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) right around the corner it’s a perfect time to encourage and promote HPV vaccination during the summer and throughout the month of August, and NPHICpresented updates to its NIAM communication toolkits as well as plans for the month of August.
A reminder that nominations are now being accepted for the 2018 HPV Vaccine is Cancer Prevention Champion Award, an annual award to recognize health care professionals who are going above and beyond to foster HPV vaccination in their communities. Last year’s Champions came from the 10 HHS regions in the U.S. – this year, the award has been expanded to recognize up to one Champion from each of the 50 U.S. states, 8 U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States, and the District of Columbia. Learn more about the timeline, criteria and nomination process, which will run throughout the summer, and nominate a champion in your community.
