Dear and esteemed students,
We invite you to respond to this year's free HPV vaccination for all young people up to the age of 25!
The HPV vaccination point has been organized for many years by the medical student association of the Osijek Faculty of Medicine (CroMSIC) and medical experts from the Osijek-Baranja County Public Health Institute.
Most people infected with HPV have no symptoms, but they can still transmit the virus.
Permanent HPV infection leads to premalignant changes, which if left untreated can lead to cancer. HPV is the cause of 6 types of cancer.
In Croatia, almost every day, one woman develops cervical cancer, and every third day, one woman dies from its consequences.
Up to the age of 25, it is possible to receive a free vaccine against all high-risk types of HPV in Croatia.
The vaccine is recommended for both girls and boys. It is completely safe because the vaccine contains virus-like particles that do not contain viral DNA and cannot infect cells, reproduce, or cause disease.
It is necessary to get vaccinated with three doses, and the first dose starts on November 13, 2025 at the address:
Student Union of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Ulica cara Hadrijana 8b.
Schedule your vaccination appointment through Terminka by scanning the QR code from the informational poster!
