Nigeria is preparing to launch the #HPV vaccine to protect against the second most frequent cancer among women across the country! #VaccinesWork

[PATH @PATHtweets]

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, and more than 95% of cases can be attributed to #HPV infection. While highly preventable with HPV vaccines, countries often struggle with weighing the costs and benefits of vaccination. https://t.co/ToehFbRZNZ

[CHIC Project @HPV_CHIC]

According to the latest WUENIC data, global #HPV vaccine coverage has surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time. However, we still have a long way to go to achieve cervical cancer elimination targets: https://t.co/De2xPRmFNX

5. The proportion of adolescent girls receiving both doses of the #HPV vaccine, which protects against the leading cause of #cervicalcancer increased from 7% in lower-income countries in 2019, to 10% in 2022.

"What do we need to do to move forward? We really need to mobilize political will for HPV vaccination and generally for women’s health. We also need to focus on sustainable financing, which is a very difficult thing to achieve." - Anuradha Gupta, Sabin's President at #WD2023

At #WHA76, @DrTedros said “vaccines are bringing the dream of eliminating cervical cancer within reach.” 

It's true: New evidence shows 1 dose of #HPV vaccine can provide protection against cervical cancer for years (via @jechristensen): https://t.co/tvEq7fUd1P

We support this new statement summarizing evidence that reinforces how the single-dose HPV vaccine schedule, endorsed by @WHO, will expand vaccine access & save more lives: https://t.co/xMenXM6nX9 #WHA76 #VaccinesWork @PATHtweets @Gavi @gatesfoundation @ACTION_tweets @IVACtweets

[Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu @DrZSB]

HPV vaccine for cervical cancer prevention needs to reach 86M Girls to meet @WHO’s elimination targets by 2030. Nigeria has the 3rd largest number of girls that need this life saver. The new commitment from @gatesfoundation @gavi will accelerate the goal.
In line with the anticipated roll out of HPV in Nigeria soon, my personal desire to provide a “Brighter Future for Girls”, I attended a high level meeting today @ #WHA76 and signed this Global declaration. Will you also sign?
