Being held in partnership with the American Cancer Society, this six-part ECHO series will consist of 60-minute teleconference sessions focused on supporting Community Health Workers (CHWs) with HPV vaccination and prevention. Sessions will focus on addressing myths related to the HPV vaccine, reviewing guidelines for the age of administration, and techniques for communicating effectively with parents and clients.
