Organizations hold important health discussions

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – Organizations in our area are making sure people have the information and resources to stay healthy.

Wednesday, Healthy Savannah and the African American Health Information and Resource Center hosted a discussion about the human papillomavirus or HPV virus and vaccine.

They hope that by educating people about the vaccine that it will prevent them getting other types of cancer that HPV can contribute to.

“The HPV vaccination equity initiative is an initiative we were awarded funding from creating health communities in early 2024. And the purpose of the HPV prevention area is to go out into black and brown communities specifically, to spread information about access, awareness, and understanding of the relationship between the HPV vaccination and cancer prevention,” said Dr. Elsie Smalls.
