🌍 Protecting Girls’ Futures: Ethiopia’s HPV Vaccination Campaign The Federal Ministry of Health Ethiopia launched a campaign to vaccinate over 7.4 million girls aged 9–14 against human papillomavirus. #CervicalCancer is the second most common cancer among Ethiopian women, and this vaccination effort is a critical step toward prevention. Enabling supply distribution and deploying experts, JSI is working closely with the Ministry to ensure a successful campaign. Together, we aim to create a cervical cancer-free generation in #Ethiopia.

HPV vaccination is recommended for youth ages 11–12 and could prevent more than 90% of HPV-related cancers. Since the #HPV vaccine was first introduced in the U.S. in 2006, rates of HPV infections and cervical precancers have decreased significantly among teens and young adults. Our HPV Vaccine Toolkit describes three approaches to increasing HPV vaccination—especially among adolescents— at a Title X-funded family planning site.

Let's harness the power of six degrees of separation to make a difference! Share this post with six people, encourage them to share it with six more and let's spread the word to save lives. In 2022, only 52% of girls and 56% of boys got fully HPV vaccinated in the UK. If we want to eradicate these types of cancers by the end of this century, we must increase vaccination uptake. We encourage all parents to sign their children’s HPV vaccine consent forms. Because preventing cancer beats curing it. Let’s #SignAwayCancer and protect our loved ones. #HPVVaccine #CancerPrevention #SpreadTheWord #PowerOfSixDegrees #SignAwayCancer #HPV

Excited to share that today, alongside two of my classmates, I presented a Knowledge Product (KP) in my Evidence-Based Policy and Stakeholder Dialogue at the University of Luzern, targeting policy makers to support a mandate requiring HPV vaccination for adolescents enrolled in school. 🌏Why ‘90 by 30’? It’s a commitment to achieve 90% HPV vaccination coverage in both genders by 2030, a goal that aligns with the World Health Organization global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. By reaching this milestone, we can dramatically reduce HPV-related cancer cases not only in high-income countries like Switzerland but also in the Global South. Our visual infographic illustrates the current challenges, barriers, key stakeholders, their call-to-actions, and future projections to show what the future could look like, offering a comprehensive overview of the proposed mandate's impact. ℹ️💥 Do you support the WHO's global goal for 90% HPV vaccination coverage by 2030?

First qualitative research study conducted in Turkmenistan focuses on HPV vaccination Within the framework of a WHO-European Union joint project on immunization in central Asia, the WHO Country Office in Turkmenistan and the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of Turkmenistan jointly conducted the country's first qualitative research study. The results of the research conducted over 3 weeks in late 2023 will serve as the basis for activities to increase public awareness about HPV and sustain confidence in HPV vaccination in the future. The Ministry asked WHO to conduct a qualitative research study to identify what parents know about HPV, the diseases it can cause, the effectiveness of vaccination in preventing these diseases, and especially what questions or concerns they have on HPV vaccination that need to be addressed in a transparent and accessible manner. https://lnkd.in/eCMCy9Xy #PublicHealth #Europe #StayInformed #StayEmpowered
