On February 21st, the Alliance for HPV Free Colorado launched a statewide paid media campaign encouraging parents and caregivers of adolescents aged 9-17 to talk to their child’s healthcare provider about the cancer-preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The campaign website includes parent and physician testimonials, answers to frequently asked questions about the HPV vaccine, and a list of other trusted resources for vaccine information. The campaign is supported by the Cancer, Cardiovascular and Chronic Pulmonary Disease Grants Program and is part of a multidisciplinary approach to increase HPV vaccine completion for 9-17 year olds in 15 Colorado counties.
