If you’re aged 18 to 27, you’re eligible for a complimentary HPV vaccine at this location.

Good news: you can now get vaccinated against the HPV virus for free in Enschede. As a young person from Enschede, you may not be very aware of the human papilloma virus, but this highly contagious virus can cause various types of cancer, says GGD Twente.

You may now think, ‘this virus is far from my bed’, but if you are sexually active, there is a very good chance that you will come into contact with HPV, says GGD Twente.

Vaccination against HPV

If you get vaccinated, you protect yourself and others against HPV. It is not 100 percent protection, but you have a much smaller chance of cancer from the virus. For good protection you need two vaccinations with at least 5 months in between.

Here you can get a free vaccination in Enschede

The vaccine is available this year (2023) free of charge for every Enschede young person between 18 and 27 years old. Good to know: normally a vaccination costs between 125 euros and 150 euros. If you get the vaccinations this year, you will save about 300 euros.

So if you were born between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2003, you can get a free vaccination at GGD location Enschede Colosseum.

You can through this site make an appointment. Five months after your first vaccination you will automatically receive a reminder to make an appointment for your second vaccination.
