Do Patients Know We Have a CANCER Prevention Vaccine?

Do patients know we have vaccine that can help prevent head & neck cancers, oral cancers, throat cancers, cervical cancers, anal & genital cancers?

Data indicate a substantial number of U.S. parents and patients are unaware that the available HPV vaccine is a highly effective primary prevention measure for several HPV-driven cancers, not to mention genital warts.  In a national survey as reported in JAMA Oncology,  34% of U.S adults were unaware of this cancer causing virus & 38% of U.S. adults were unaware of the HPV vaccine.  Empowering patients with knowledge from credible sources is a critical first step. Dr. Paul Offit , the Subject Matter Expert’s Subject Matter Expert on vaccine data, shares in this short video facts on the HPV Vaccine ( Gardasil 9 ). We have a vaccine by design that puts 9 strains of HPV on the decline.  There is a profound elegance in the partnership between human ingenuity and our own physiology—a synergy that awakens the immune system's potential to safeguard our health.

Working in tandem with immunization providers the team at the Physician’s Buying Group, PracticeWell can facilitate vaccine discounts, including the HPV Vaccine Gardasil.
