Immunity Community (a program of WithinReach) is excited to offer free online education opportunities for healthcare providers with the offer of continuing education. You may start and complete these courses at any time. Courses are available for professionals who work in the immunization field.
Check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for a current list of free continuing education courses, for credit, which provide guidance on how to have an effective conversation with parents about HPV vaccination.
Details: People who are HIV-positive or immunocompromised are at greater risk for HPV infection. Providers can help protect this population by routinely recommending and administering HPV immunization. The materials in this toolkit will help providers start the conversation and strongly recommend HPV vaccine to their HIV-positive and immunocompromised patients.

Toolkit Contents:
Details: The Massachusetts Oral HPV Task Force developed the first HPV dental toolkit in 2016 to improve HPV knowledge for dentists. Since then, it’s used in dental outreach across Massachusetts and has been successfully adapted in seven states.
A newly launched version of the toolkit is now available, and its design reflects feedback from users and provides the most up-to-date recommendations. It also includes internal training materials on how to recommend the HPV vaccine, as well as in-office communication materials. Click here to access the free, downloadable toolkit. Stay tuned for additional languages and printed copies!
HPV infection can lead to oral cancers. Oropharyngeal cancer in men is rising sharply in recent years. Oral healthcare providers are in a great position to explain the risks of HPV and oral cancer and empower their patients ages 9 to 26 to get the HPV vaccine.
