Children's Health Defense In its endorsement of the âStart at Age 9â campaign, the New York State Department of Health called the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine âthe best protection against preventable cancers caused by HPV infection.â But experts told The Defender thereâs no evidence the vaccine prevents cancer â but plenty of evidence it causes injuries.
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) this month joined California and Kentucky in endorsing a campaign to vaccinate children as young as 9 against human papillomavirus (HPV).
In its endorsement of the âStart at Age 9â campaign, the NYSDOH said, âGetting the HPV vaccine series is the best protection against preventable cancers caused by HPV infection.â
The âStart at Age 9â campaign is an initiative of the National HPV Vaccination Roundtable, a coalition of about 70 health organizations, hospitals and universities led by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
