SSG announces Vaccination against Human Papilloma in Irapuato Girls 11 years old

HPV Vaccination Campaign Offers Crucial Protection for Irapuato Girls

The Guanajuato Ministry of Health is launching a critical vaccination campaign targeting 11-year-old girls in Irapuato, aiming to safeguard their future health. The focus is on providing the HPV vaccine, a single-dose immunization that offers robust protection against four virus types responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases, a leading cause of death for women in Mexico.

This initiative holds particular meaning for girls who missed the HPV vaccination chance during previous campaigns. The Ministry of Health is urging all fifth-grade girls in primary school, as well as any 11-year-old not currently enrolled, to participate. Vaccination brigades will be visiting schools, ensuring convenient access for most. Parents and guardians of children unable to attend on scheduled vaccination days can take their daughters to one of Irapuato’s five health centers.

Recognizing the importance of accessibility, the Colón and Benito juárez Health Centers will extend their hours, offering the vaccine on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Parents are reminded to bring their child’s National Health Card for registration.

“The vaccine is safe,effective,and free,” emphasizes the Ministry of Health. “It dose not have serious side effects, and in certain specific cases, a mild fever may occur for less than 72 hours, which does not require special treatment.”

This campaign presents a vital opportunity for eligible girls to receive the HPV vaccine. Future campaigns are unlikely to offer it to those who miss this chance. The Ministry of Health strongly encourages parents and guardians to seize this crucial public health initiative and protect their daughters against cervical cancer.

for detailed facts about the campaign, residents are encouraged to follow Health Jurisdiction VI’s social media channels or visit their nearest health centre.
