Free HPV vaccination without appointment at Plexus
HPV vaccination protects you against cancer of the mouth, throat, anus, penis, vagina, labia and cervix. Were you born between 1996 and 2003 and are you not yet (fully) vaccinated against HPV? You can get vaccinated for free - this year only. This also applies to international students.
80% get HPV
Eight out of ten people will get infected with HPV at some point in their lives. You can get the virus from having sex with someone who is infected, and also via the hands, skin and mouth. HPV can cause cancer in both women and men. If you are already sexually active, it still makes sense to get vaccinated as it will protect you against possible future infections.

First jab before summer vacation
For optimal protection, two jabs are needed five months (or more) apart. If you get your first jab before the summer vacation, you can also get your second jab this year for free. From 2024 onwards, the HPV vaccination will no longer be free for young adults between the ages of 19 and 27.
More information
The HPV vaccination is provided by the Dutch Public Health Service (GGD), region Hollands Midden. More information about the HPV vaccination.
Successful first round of HPV vaccinations at Plexus
On Thursday 11 May, for the first time, both students and non-students could get a HPV vaccination at Plexus Student Centre. It was really busy! In just two and a half hours, 80 young people got their jabs for free. On Thursday 25 May, the temporary GGD vaccination centre at Plexus will open its doors once again.
