The agency said HPV is the most common sexually-transmitted infection disease that is connected to cervical cancer.

While inaugurating the committee, the chairman of the Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Rilwanu Mohammed, said it was expected to develop activities to effectively implement the vaccination campaign in the state.

He said the committee comprised medical experts, religion and traditional leaders, civil society organisations (CSOs) and development partners.

Mohammed said 16 states, including Bauchi State had been selected nationwide for the first phase of the vaccination.

He said the overall purpose of the TWG would focus on coordination, introduction and decision-making for smooth introduction of the vaccine.

He said the group would be responsible for mapping all relevant HPV stakeholders, monitor and track readiness of board and track funding for the rollout of the vaccine.

In his presentation, the agency’s director of Planning Research and Statistics, Dr Jibreel Mohammed, said the vaccine was introduced to protect women from cervical cancer.

He said the HPV vaccine would be integrated into routine immunisation from 2024.

Mohammed expressed concern over the prevalence of cancer among women and stressed that collective efforts must be made to reduce the burden by targeting young girls for the vaccine.
