California HPV Vaccine Week
California HPV Vaccine Week is an annual observance led by the California HPV Vaccination Roundtable during the first full week of August. The goal of this campaign is to increase awareness of the HPV vaccine as cancer prevention, and to promote the vaccination of kids ages 9-12. California HPV Vaccine Week is a great way for health organizations, providers, survivors and individuals touched by HPV cancer, and parents/families to get out the message about the importance of HPV vaccination for cancer prevention.
2025 Campaign Materials
California HPV Vaccine Week 2025 took place from August 3-9, 2025, and it was one of our best yet! Thank you to all of the organizations and individuals who helped spread the word that HPV vaccination is cancer prevention.
Please continue to use the social media campaign materials throughout the year (most are not specific to CA HPV Vaccine Week). Additionally, we’ve included a year-round HPV vaccination social media toolkit from the American Cancer Society (English/Spanish), which includes suggested posts for a variety of holidays and observances throughout the year.
Whether you do a little or a lot, please help us track our efforts by tagging @CAHPVRoundtable and use the hashtags #caHPVvaxweek and #CaliforniaHPVFree on social media. You can also email info@cahpvroundtable.org about other initiatives.
This year we have a revised campaign guide with ready-to-use messaging and social media assets, and we hosted a webinar The Power of Starting HPV Vaccination at Age 9
on Thursday, August 7th.
