The Ministry of Health and Wellness is working closely with the Public Health Department to amplify the HPV vaccination drive in the month of October. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a group of over 200 viruses, some of which can be spread through intimate skin to skin contact, including direct sexual contact. The HPV vaccine is available for both men and women at the District Health Centres, the Public Health Department Clinic, and the Women’s Health Clinic. Eligible individuals are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider to schedule their vaccination in line with the latest JCVI recommendations.
