HPV is one of the most common viral infections
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are among the most common viral infections worldwide. Certain HPV types can cause various types of cancer in the long term, for example in the cervix, anus, or throat.
According to the Health and Prevention Department of the Groß-Gerau district, early vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of such diseases. Department head Angela Carstens emphasizes that many people are still insufficiently informed about the spread of the viruses and about preventative measures.
Exhibition open until March 27th
The exhibition is on display in the foyer of the Groß-Gerau district administration building and can be visited during opening hours. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
