AJE would like to share information from the LEA Look Forward announcements regarding the HPV survey and DC Physical Education Standards. Please share with your networks and see additional details below.

DC Health Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Survey 

DC Health in collaboration with the DC Vaccine Alliance is conducting a survey to collect community feedback about knowledge and beliefs concerning HPV and the HPV vaccine to inform DC Health immunization activities. HPV is a virus that can cause cervical, throat, and anal cancer, and genital warts.

DC Health is asking schools to share the following survey link with families: HPV Vaccine Survey_Rapid Community Assessment. The survey will remain open through March.
