We are hosting a documentary screening and panel discussion around the HPV epidemic and the importance of the HPV vaccine. You will be able to view the video prior to our panel discussion.

The discussions will be virtual with Martin C. Mahoney, MD, PhD and Jennifer Frustrino, DDS, PhD. One panel discussion will be held on Thursday, September 23rd from 9am-10am.

This documentary is an incredible movie that is traveling all over the world right now. It's been seen in hundreds of theaters and venues by tens of thousands of people so far!

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection and is highly transmissible. HPV can be spread from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact. It is a widespread, misunderstood and potentially dangerous epidemic. Getting youth vaccinated can lower their chance of getting HPV when they are older and even prevent several types of cancer.

Someone You Love is about the HPV epidemic-showing how HPV and HPV-associated cancers affect people's lives and confirming the importance of vaccination against it.
