The Ogun State Government has announced plans to vaccinate about 500,000 teenage girls against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a major cause of cervical cancer.
The Ogun State Coordinator for the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Victoria Adebiyi, made this known on Tuesday at the media orientation on HPV vaccination in the state.
Mrs Adebiyi said the vaccination campaign, which would commence on 24 October, aims to prevent the spread of cervical cancer among teenage girls in the state.
