August 2024: HPV Vaccination Month

We invite healthcare providers to participate in Alaska’s HPV Vaccination Month to protect Alaska’s kids against HPV-related cancers. 

Pledges are open for 2024 HPV Vaccination Month! By participating, your organization can help improve Alaska’s HPV vaccination rates, improve health outcomes, and ultimately help save lives.

TAKE THE PLEDGE

How to get Involved as a Campaign Partner:

1. When pledges open in early summer, sign up as an official partner of Alaska HPV Vaccination Month.

2. Plan and implement an HPV clinical or promotional activity.

Suggested activities:

  • CME Training for your staff
  • Include HPV vaccination in your standing orders
  • Strongly suggest HPV vaccinations starting at age 9
  • Provide patient and parent education materials
  • Add extended hours to your clinic or organize a special HPV Month event
  • See our Pledge for many more ideas or come up with your own

3. Increase your HPV vaccination rates and share best practices.

Reminder:

If you plan to hold a HPV Vaccination Clinic for HPV Vaccination Month, ensure you have enough HPV vaccine stock either through state-supplied vaccine or privately purchased vaccine. The Alaska Immunization Program provides no-cost vaccines to participating medical providers for eligible patients of all ages. If you are interested in enrolling to receive state-supplied vaccine, please email the Alaska Immunization Program at immune@alaska.gov.
