Adamawa Aims To Vaccinate 388,000 Girls Against Cervical Cancer

The government of Adamawa State is targeting 388,180 female children for the human papillomavirus vaccination (HPV) that is just commencing.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri gave the number on Tuesday when he revealed the exercise.
The vaccination against cervical cancer, which is being held in other states of the nation, features girls aged nine to 14 years.
The house-to-house vaccination in Adamawa State is to last for three months, after which persons who may still be left out would access the service in the 226 primary healthcare facilities in the state.
Adamawa State Deputy Governor, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, who represented Fintiri during the flag-off ceremony in Yola, assured the people that the vaccination would protect girls from the age of nine to 14 by affording them immunity ahead of exposure to the cervical cancer virus.
“The vaccine has been used in several parts of the world with huge success. These countries do not have the burden of cervical cancer anymore. This administration has procured and distributed needed equipment, consumables, drugs, and other supplies to the facilities,” the governor said.
Commissioner for Health Felix Tangwami urged those within the target age range to embrace the vaccination.
He denied the false claim that the vaccine is intended to reduce the human population.
