Meningitis B: You may not be protected! Postsecondary students are at a higher risk of contracting this potentially life-threatening disease, and we encourage all students to check whether they have the vaccine, as it is not included in the publicly-funded vaccines
Human Papillomavirus (HPV): HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world today and can cause a number of cancers. There are often no signs or symptoms of HPV. Getting immunized for HPV is the best way to prevent it, even if you are already sexually active.
