HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common virus. While for most of us it is not harmful, some types are linked to several kinds of cancer.
All young people between 12 and 13 years old can have the HPV vaccine at school or at a community clinic.
If you miss your vaccine at school, you can catch up at a local community clinic. Details can be found on our website: www.kingstonandrichmond.nhs.uk/services/service-search-z/immunisations-childrens
