Panel: What are optimal and sustainable delivery strategies for HPV vaccine delivery? Discuss routine vaccination concepts in the countries, campaign approaches and nuances around it

The panel discussion highlighted diverse HPV vaccination delivery strategies across countries, emphasizing integration with routine immunization and leveraging existing campaigns to maximize coverage. Countries such as Cameroon and Burkina Faso noted the impact of one-dose schedules, task-shifting, and humanitarian partnerships in conflict zones, while Senegal and Mauritania stressed community engagement, school-based strategies, and involvement of religious and women’s groups. A recurring theme was balancing costly intensification campaigns with sustainable routine approaches. Participants also identified challenges including parental consent, misinformation, and reaching marginalized populations, calling for better documentation of lessons learned and clearer definitions of “routine” HPV vaccination in national programs.
