Under the one-year HPV Vaccination Equity Initiative grant, Community Health Advocates (CHAs) will be trained to share information about the benefits of the HPV vaccine and help connect community members with healthcare providers that provide the vaccine. Additionally, the CHAs will provide information to uninsured and underinsured about free or low-cost programs offering HPV vaccines, which help protect individuals ages 9 to 45 against certain cancers, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and oral.
