Experts ramp up drive to demystify HPV vaccine

This renewed focus became evident during the launch of an intensified campaign targeting girls aged between 10 and 14 in Vihiga County.

The drive is part of Kenya’s shift to a single-dose HPV vaccine regimen and aims to reach more than 10,000 eligible girls across the county. Yet, concerns still linger among some Kenyans who fear the vaccine could affect future fertility.
