Current Vaccination Efforts & Initiatives
Vaccination is Key! WIPE OUT HPV!
Vaccination is Key! WIPE OUT HPV! is a collaboration between the Immunization Division and Operation WIPE OUT Cervical Cancer Alabama. Getting vaccinated is one of the most convenient and safest preventative care measures available. Vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine, protect against cancer, with cervical cancer being the most common HPV-related disease. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer can be attributed to HPV infection. Operation WIPE OUT Cervical Cancer Alabama is a public health initiative aimed at eliminating cervical cancer 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
For more information, please visit Operation WIPE OUT Cervical Cancer.
Don't Wait, Vaccinate Campaign
Fall and winter are times when viruses that cause respiratory disease usually circulate more heavily in the community. Vaccination against these respiratory viruses is important for everyone, especially those who are at higher risk of developing serious complications, including older Americans and those with medical conditions. Vaccines protect our community and players. As we gear up for fall and winter sports, make sure you and your family are up to date on all recommended vaccines, including respiratory virus vaccines. Don’t Wait, Vaccinate!
The Immunization Division partners with college and university athletic departments, ESPN, and select high schools throughout Alabama to raise awareness of the significance of vaccines.
