  5. New routine target population:9 to 13 year old girls • This age group not served by routine immunization programme in the past • Accurate data on the target age group may not be available • Other sectors like education - may have useful data • Where are these girls? In school, at home, do they work? • Girls that do not attend school might be most at risk of getting cervical cancer • Limited health services provided to this age group

HPV vaccine: Implications for communication and mobilization • New age group and girls only • Wider set of stakeholders: leaders, parents, girls teachers • Unlike infants, girls are not passive recipients of vaccine: need to communicate with and mobilize girls (Benefits of vaccine, potential side effects, three doses) • Teachers are important mobilizers and communicators for HPV vaccination
