      This is a community for public health, and the article is about a vaccination campaign that just happened in that country. It’s not relevant for everyone, but it can be relevant for people working in the field.

      Saba is one of the 1.5 million 14-year-old girls who were vaccinated in early March 2024, as part of a four-day nationwide vaccination campaign. The HPV vaccine is being administered using a campaign mode by availing vaccination for four consecutive days at fixed vaccination posts and temporary fixed vaccination posts at schools where most of the target age group, 14-year-age girls, are easily found.

      Based on the MoH decision and the country’s National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups, the two-dose schedule used over the past five years was switched to a single-dose schedule for the primary target group, girls aged 14 years. The decision was based on the evidence which indicated that a single-dose schedule provides solid protection with a comparable efficacy to the two or three-dose schedules. This evidence has also been evaluated and recommended by the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) in 2022.

      I’m open to suggestions if you want to see other types of updates in this community (ex. the research articles).

      Inflammatory braindead reddit-tier drivel has gotta be one of my least favorite genres of lemmy comment
