:: The GAVI Alliance announced that it will support HPV vaccination programmes in Rwanda, Uganda and Uzbekistan “aiming to protect 1.5 million girls against the cause of cervical cancer.” The first GAVI-supported national rollouts of the vaccine will begin in Uganda and Uzbekistan in 2015 while Rwanda will switch from a vaccine manufacturer’s donation to GAVI Alliance support this year to secure the sustainability of its existing national programme. The three countries “have developed detailed plans to ensure that girls aged 10 – 12 years are vaccinated with HPV vaccine in schools and also that those who are not in the classroom are reached in communities through outreach by health workers.”
