Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Now Offers HPV Vaccines

Champaign, IL - The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) now offers Genital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines for women ages 18-26 during weekly STD clinics. These clinics, located at 201 West Kenyon Road in Champaign, are held on
Tuesdays from 1:00 - 5:00pm and Thursdays from 9:00 - 11:00am and 1:00pm - 3:00pm. HPV shots are given in a series of three injections over a six-month period and have been proven to be highly effective in preventing four types of HPV in young women who have not been previously exposed to HPV. CUPHD accepts Medicaid/IPA, Visa/MC, or cash for services, and will not turn anyone away for inability to pay.
