The UPEI Health and Wellness Centre is located in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre
October launched the UPEI Health and Wellness Centre's HPV awareness campaign. At least 75% of Canadians will have at least one HPV infection in their lifetime and HPV has been linked to cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth and throat. Anyone who has been sexually active is at risk for HPV and its complications; however, a vaccine is the best way to protect yourself. UPEI student insurance now covers up to $500 worth of vaccine and many PEI health card holders are eligible to receive the vaccine free of cost. To find out if you are eligible, please book an appointment at healthcentre@upei.ca.
