KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is in the midst of procuring HPV (Human papillomavirus) vaccines to continue its drive to protect target groups.
Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni said the Covid-19 pandemic had disrupted the HPV vaccination drive especially for Form 1 female students or 13 year-old girls from the 2021 batch onwards.
He said the procurement plan will be in line with the government’s procurement standards in line with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
