Speakers: Dr. Thilina Bandara, Project Lead and Mika Rathwell, Project Officer from Urban Public Health Network

In this webinar, we will be discussing Solutions to Increase Youth Human Papillomavirus Immunization in Canada, a national quality improvement project funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. Our presentation will be focused on the project objectives, which include understanding the sub-provincial national HPV immunization data landscape, and provider- and community-reported barriers to HPV immunizations. We will share how we are executing on our objectives and some early results we have gathered from engaging public health organizations across Canada.
