The Value of HPV Vaccination – Educational Overview
The Value of HPV Vaccination – Prevention That Saves Lives
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases. Vaccination provides safe, effective, and long-term protection against preventable cancers, particularly when administered before exposure to the virus.
Evidence shows that HPV immunization significantly reduces cervical pre-cancers, genital warts, and other HPV-related conditions. Expanding vaccine access, improving awareness, and strengthening public confidence are critical to reducing cancer burden across Uganda and Africa.
