Following Alabama's 3rd OPERATION WIPE OUT Summit, the university is launching student-led awareness campaigns and activities, "Know Your Status" initiatives, and future vaccination drives, while also integrating HPV education across health professions curricula and the planned Master of Public Health program.
Alabama has a plan to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health threat by vaccinating against HPV and expanding access to cervical cancer screening and follow-up.
We can eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem in Alabama by:
Vaccinating more children and adolescents against HPV
Screening more women for cervical cancer
Ensuring that women who need follow-up can access services
We can save the lives of women across Alabama. And we need your help.
