This bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to launch a national public awareness campaign to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates and combat vaccine misinformation. HPV causes approximately 39,300 cancer cases annually in the United States, including cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, and other cancers, with vaccination rates currently around 63 percent among adolescents and disparities affecting rural areas and communities of color. The campaign will develop culturally tailored resources for underserved communities, partner with healthcare providers and schools to increase vaccination completion, and test messaging for effectiveness. The bill authorizes $5 million annually from 2026 through 2030 for the awareness campaign and increases funding for cervical cancer screening programs to $300 million per year during the same period, with a progress report due to Congress by September 2027.
