This press release outlines the changes to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine recommendations issued by CDC. CDC now recommends 11- to 12-year-olds receive two doses of HPV vaccine at least six months apart, rather than the previously-recommended three doses to protect against cancers caused by HPV infections.
