UAMS Webinar to Highlight New HPV Vaccination and Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines
| The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Office of Health Initiatives and Disparities Research will host a public webinar, “Getting Back on Track After the Impact of COVID-19: HPV Vaccination and Cervical Cancer Screening Guideline Updates,” on Friday, Jan. 28, at 2 p.m.
In addition to new recommended screening guidelines by the American Cancer Society, presenters will also discuss the impact of COVID-19 on adolescent immunization and best practices, including resources for getting back on track. The one-hour webinar is highly recommended for medical professionals who may receive continuing education credit for attending.
Experts from the American Cancer Society and UAMS will share the latest guidance for safely resuming screening for cervical cancer, as well as new age recommendations for adolescents to receive the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. HPV is a common cause of six types of cancer, including cervical cancer in women, penile cancer in men, anal and throat cancers. Although there is no cure for HPV, vaccination is proven to prevent 90% of HPV-related cancers.
The webinar is free and will be presented on Zoom.
