HPV Communication for healthcare workers at facility level: Approaches and challenges

This presentation highlights Kenya’s HPV vaccination journey, focusing on communication strategies for health workers at facility level. It outlines successful pilot programs with high uptake, current integration into routine immunization, and persistent gaps in knowledge, coordination, and outreach—particularly for hard-to-reach adolescent girls. Challenges include hesitancy, misconceptions, inadequate mapping, and limited funding. Recommendations emphasize early planning, community engagement, adolescent-friendly services, and multisectoral collaboration to normalize HPV vaccination and improve coverage.
