About this advice

NHS England has committed to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

The HPV vaccine reduces your chance of getting HPV. Most types of HPV are harmless, but some types are linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, including cervical, mouth and some types of head and neck cancer. The vaccine is recommended for children aged 12 to 13 years old and people at higher risk from HPV.

The NHS and BIMA have produced leaflets in English, Bengali and Urdu to provide more information on the HPV vaccine for the Muslim community.

Find the leaflets below and share with family and friends who might benefit from the information.
