'Road to Zero': Community-led mobile vaccination in QC targets cervical cancer elimination

IN A pioneering effort to put an end to the deadly cervical cancer, which kills 12 Filipino women every day, a one-of-a-kind vaccination road show has been launched in the District 1 of Quezon City to combat human papillomavirus (HPV).

The 5-week initiative, which starts on July 9 and runs every Tuesday until August 6, is a first of its kind among local governments in the Philippines, aiming to bring essential immunization services directly to the community through an innovative mobile road show format.
