| January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month - Watch CDC's New Video on HPV for Healthcare Providers: Every year, 27,000 men and women are affected by HPV-related cancers. Most of these can be prevented by vaccinating boys and girls ages 11–12. Watch a short video that emphasizes the importance of prevention from three different perspectives — an Ob-Gyn who treats cervical cancer daily, a pediatrician and mom who vaccinated her own daughters, and a cervical cancer survivor. As a clinician, you are the key to closing the door to cancer today. |

| Rotavirus Vaccine Safety: In this CDC Expert Commentary on Medscape,, CDC's Director of the Immunization Safety Office Dr. Frank DeStefano discusses the latest data on rotavirus vaccine and risk of intussusception, the most common cause of acute bowel obstruction in infants. Dr. DeStefano explains that providers should be ready to talk with parents about the benefits of rotavirus vaccine, as well as the small risk for intussusception associated with the vaccines. He reminds clinicians that parents need to know the signs and symptoms of intussusception. They also need to know that they should seek prompt care if they are concerned that their child may be ill.
