Adult & Child Immunizations

We provide immunizations for children and adults to prevent diseases that can cause serious illness and in some cases, death. It is much safer to get the vaccines than to get the diseases. Learn more about How Vaccines Work [external link].

Either a two-dose or three-dose series, depending on age, the HPV vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer, vaginal and vulvar cancers, penile and anal cancers, and oropharyngeal cancers in addition to genital warts.
