HPV infections can lead to genital warts, cervical and other forms of cancer. Vaccination should be combined with routine cervical screening. Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is supporting efforts to extend routine vaccination against human papillomaviruses of girls and boys.

One of 10 flagship initiatives in the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is to support Member State efforts to extend routine vaccination against viruses that can cause cancers later in life.
