The Empowering and Strengthening Community, Culture, and Connection to Prevent HPV Cancers virtual seminar series was created to explore disparities in HPV vaccination and HPV cancers among various racial and ethnic groups and discuss strategies to improve HPV vaccination coverage to prevent HPV cancers.

Willis, MD, MPH, FAAP, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee; Nikki Hayes, MPH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Tamika Felder, Cervical Cancer Survivor with Cervivor Inc.
