HPV Vaccinations in French Middle Schools

HPV Vaccine - A new HPV vaccination campaign will launch in October for 5th-grade students in French middle schools to protect against HPV-related cancers. The campaign aims to vaccinate children before potential exposure to the virus, requiring two doses—one in late 2024 and another in spring 2025. In the Alpes-Maritimes, 83 schools are participating, with parental consent required. The goal is to increase vaccination coverage, which remains low despite HPV's link to multiple cancers.
