HPV Cancer Free Georgia is a statewide initiative focused on preventing HPV-related cancers through vaccination and education. This initiative is a part of the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium (GC3), which is overseen by the Georgia Department of Public Health and facilitated by the Georgia Health Policy Center within Georgia State University. As part of the GC3, the roundtable has contributed to the development of Georgia’s Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan and supports its implementation, with a focus on two key objectives:  

  • Objective 1: To raise awareness and education on HPV vaccination as cancer prevention for six HPV-related cancers.  
  • Objective 2: To increase the percentage of vaccine-eligible individuals in Georgia, starting at age 9 and up to 26 years old, who have completed the HPV vaccination series.

HPV Cancer Free GA members stand with legislators, participants, and HPV Champions during the 8th Annual Cervical Cancer Awareness Day held at the Georgia State Capitol.

 

Our goal is to provide evidence-based, comprehensive information about the HPV vaccination series to parents of adolescents and children in Georgia to increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of HPV vaccination.
