Nepal is poised to start its HPV vaccination campaign to Prevent Cervical Cancer. The campaign, which started in 2022, has seen high demand for the vaccine, with callers willing to travel long distances to get their girls vaccinated. The Nepal government has pledged to provide the HPV vaccine for national distribution and has submitted a request to the global vaccine alliance GAVI for 1.6 million doses. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer among women globally, and the HPV vaccine has been shown to prevent up to 90% of HPV-related cancers and pre-cancerous injuries.
