Young Brains, Strong Protection: HPV Facts from Tracker!

Hey there Tracker Gang! 

Have you ever wondered why it is so much easier for young kids to learn a new language? It’s because their brains are better at picking up information because everything is so new to them. That’s why the language you learn first is so easy for you, you don’t even have to think about it. But learning a language gets a lot harder when you are older.  

It can be the same way with vaccines. The HPV vaccine is a rockstar when it comes to helping prevent certain cancers, and the earlier kids get it, the better their bodies can lock in strong, long-lasting protection. That’s why the recommended time for boys and girls for the HPV vaccine is between ages 9–12. A quick series of shots now can mean powerful protection for years to come!
