Maximizing HPV Vaccine Impact: The Case for Early Initiation and Regional Insights

This webinar focuses on the evolving landscape of HPV vaccination in Wisconsin, where we’ve seen a notable increase in vaccinations among boys and girls over time. However, the post-Covid era presents new challenges with vaccine hesitancy, potentially affecting the uptake of essential vaccines like HPV. This webinar focuses on evidence that supports initiating HPV vaccination at age 9, a strategy that promises to significantly boost the vaccination rates by age 13. This early intervention is key to maximizing protection against six types of cancer.

Presenting this webinar is Matt Flory, a seasoned professional from the American Cancer Society with 23 years of experience. In his current role, Matt collaborates with payors, healthcare providers, and public health advocates to enhance HPV vaccination rates and cancer screening efforts. His rich background includes serving as a past President of the Minnesota Public Health Association and holding a Masters in Public Policy from the University of Minnesota.
