The nationwide Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination campaign has officially been launched in Mampong, marking a major step in the fight against cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.
As part of the launch, a regional awareness forum was held to educate communities on the importance of HPV vaccination. Health officials, educators, and community leaders highlighted that early vaccination—especially among adolescents before sexual activity—provides the best protection.
The campaign targets adolescent girls and boys, aiming to ensure wide access to the HPV vaccine while also promoting broader reproductive health education. Officials believe the program will not only help reduce cases of cervical cancer but also improve long-term public health outcomes across the country.
Authorities are calling on parents, schools, and community leaders to support the exercise and encourage young people to get vaccinated for a healthier future.
