flag Oregon designates March 4 as HPV Awareness Day to boost vaccine education and reduce stigma.

flag Oregon has designated March 4 as HPV Awareness Day, becoming the second U.S. state to do so, following the unanimous passage of HB 4135. flag The bill, introduced by Rep. Annessa Hartman, who survived Stage 3 cervical cancer, honors the late Rep. Hòa Nguyễn, who died from the disease. flag It aims to increase awareness of HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection linked to several cancers, and promote the vaccine, which prevents over 90% of related cancers. flag Despite its effectiveness, vaccination rates remain low in many Oregon counties. flag The law, signed by the governor, is not mandatory but supports education and stigma reduction.
