Bala explained that on May 27, NPHCDA and John Snow Incorporated (JSI) through the HPV Vaccine Acceleration Programme Partners Initiative (HAPPI) project, would be there to provide the needed technical support.

He said that the week-long programme is targeting girls between the ages of nine and 14 years, who are said to be vulnerable to cervical cancer.

He defined cervical cancer as a deadly disease that takes about 10 years to manifest and once not detected early for treatment, it can kill the patient.

He explained that “this is why the Federal Government and concerned partners are out to ensure that innocent young girls are protected at early age against the disease.

“As we commence the immunisation exercise in Kogi on Monday, May 27, we hope to go round the 21 local government areas with the HPV vaccine for the targeted girls.”

He urged parents and guardians, religious and community leaders and other stakeholders to endeavour to sensitize and mobiles the girls to come out for the HPV vaccine to live a healthy life.(NAN)
