MANILA — The Department of Health (DOH) will be pushing in the following months the HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccination of grade 4 female children to protect them from any probable occurrence of cervical cancer in the future.<\/p>\n

According to DOH Secretary Janette L.<\/p>\n

Garin, the HPV immunization will be undertaken among grade four girls who are nine years old in selected public schools in the 20 poorest provinces in the country.<\/p>\n

The program targeting the grade 4 children in the poorest provinces was revealed in a discussion on myths and misconceptions about vaccines dubbed as \u201cUsapang Bakuna\u201d held on Tuesday at the Museum Caf\u00e9 in Ayala Museum, Makati City.<\/p>\n

The dialogue was spearhead by the Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD), an American Pharmaceutical Company, and attended by pediatricians who are members of the Philippine Pediatric Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis HPV immunization is actually one of the innovations which the DOH will be doing in the next months. It will not be on a nationwide basis because our funds are limited as of the moment.<\/p>\n

This will cover the 20 poorest provinces in the country,\u201d said Garin.<\/p>\n

HPV vaccine is a form of protection against sexually transmitted virus that eventually leads to the disease that most women fear \u2014 cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide and even in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Secretary Garin said that since it is preventable by vaccine through HPV, there is a need to protect the young people hoping to have brighter future, especially in the poorest sector which cannot afford it.<\/p>\n

She added that the disease is usually detected at 40-45 years age bracket, where a woman can still be productive and having cancer brings financial difficulty, especially for the poor family who practically pawns and sells everything in times of dire financial need.<\/p>\n

The DOH chief said that giving the poor children the HPV vaccine is a way of ensuring that such illness will not be incurred by the targeted children so that their chance to become productive members of society will not be hindered.<\/p>\n

She added that the immunization program will be done in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).<\/p>\n

According to her, the immunization will not be mandatory as written consents of the parents will be secured.<\/p>\n

She said that there is a need for people to fully understand how the immunization can help the poor children prevent themselves from having the life-threatening disease of cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

Around 300,000 children in the 20 provinces will be the initial target of the HPV immunization.<\/p>\n

The budget for it will come from the Sin Tax revenues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
