The Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals department is responsible for targeting vaccine-preventable diseases, guiding immunization research and establishing immunization policy.

Monitoring and Surveillance of HPV Vaccination Programmes

As HPV vaccine is recommended for an age group not routinely served by immunization programmes, and since the population impact of the vaccine on cervical cancer cannot be measured until years after the vaccine has been introduced, new approaches to monitoring coverage and impact are needed for HPV vaccine.

This section provides practical tools to keep track of and analyse programme results to continually monitor the effectiveness of HPV vaccine introduction and revise delivery strategies.
