Hi
just a reminder that today is HPV awareness day if you’ve got grandchildren or children approaching year 8 in school boys and girls they can have the HPV vaccine. It’s important that we try to eradicate HOV driven tumours, preventing cancer certainly beats curing cancer.
There is also a catch up programme for teenagers and young adults who missed the vaccine.
