Girls as young as nine may be vacci­nated against the human papillomavi­rus (HPV). The vir us can lead to cervical cancer – the leading cause of cancer-relat­ed deaths.

To protect girls, an annual HPV vaccina­tion programme was first rolled out in 2014, as part of the Inte­grated School Health Programme. The pro­gramme, led by the departments of Health, Basic Education, and Social Development provides the vaccine free of charge to lear­ners in Grade 5 who are over the age of nine.

The Department of Health has an­nounced changes to the vaccination programme as part of ongoing efforts to increase uptake of the Coro­navirus Disease (COVID-19) vaccine in South Africa.

The changes, which have been guided by scientific evidence, include reducing the time interval between the first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine from 42 days to 21 days.
