HPV vaccinations available on campus
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are viruses that can infect many parts of the body. Some types of HPV are sexually transmitted and can cause warts or other consequences such as cancer. Get your vaccination against HPV at one of our campus mobile clinics this fall.
When should I visit the hospital?
In your home country, you may visit the hospital frequently whenever you are sick or injured. In Canada, visiting the hospital is for extreme emergency situations or referral appointments from your doctor. Find out more information about what to do in an emergency situation.
