According to a recent article in the Daily 49er, more students are going to the Student Health Center for the HPV vaccine.

That is an increase from the 2009-10 academic year, where 118 students received it.

The Gardasil HPV vaccine is a three-shot series. The cost is $145 per shot, but private insurers may cover it. An appointment is required.
