New York state Start at 9 campaign to prevent HPV cancers 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states HPV infection affects about 85 percent of the population, and can cause six types of cancers, including cervical, vaginal, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal. The HPV vaccine, which is eligible for children ages 9 and over, has been shown to be an effective measure against these cancers. To assist with cancer prevention efforts in the state of New York, the Start at 9 campaign was created for care providers. For more information on this campaign, and how care providers can participate, open the attachment to learn more about this program. 

We are committed to active involvement with our care provider partners and going beyond the contract to create a real impact on the health of our communities.
