The Putnam County Health Department has launched its HPV-Shot For Hoops contest.

Any Putnam County student who receives one of their HPV shots in December or January will be entered to win tickets to the Pacers / Cavs game on February 5. One student from each school district will win two tickets and another student from the school district with the highest participation will also receive two tickets.

HPV vaccination prevents against future cancers and diseases and is recommended for both boys and girls age 11 and up. The Putnam County Health Department has extended clinic hours during this contest including Tuesday evenings and some Saturdays. Call 765.301.7660 and select option 1 to schedule an appointment.
