Representatives of the Ministry of Public Health of Cameroon present the national HPV vaccination programme within the CHIC 2025 Africa Symposium country snapshot session.
The programme targets adolescent girls through a combination of school-based delivery and outreach strategies, with integration within routine immunization systems.
Coverage remains suboptimal, with key gaps linked to out-of-school girls, limited community awareness, and inconsistencies in microplanning and service delivery.
Operational priorities include strengthening data quality and use for coverage monitoring, improving coordination between health and education sectors, and standardizing delivery approaches across regions.
Planned actions focus on expanding reach to missed populations, reinforcing social mobilization, and optimizing logistics and partner coordination to improve programme performance.
