Every year in Ontario hundreds of women are diagnosed with cervical cancer. As many as 140 women will die of the disease each year. You can now help protect your daughter from cervical cancer with Ontario’s HPV vaccination program for Grade 8 girls.
Grade 8 girls will be offered the free, publicly funded vaccine at school based clinics. If you want your child to be vaccinated by your doctor, the three shots of the HPV vaccine costs between $400-$500. If your child won’t be able to attend the clinic date at her school, there will be ‘catch-up’ clinics at the Health Unit.
