MIRIAM College and the Catholic Educators Association of the Philippines-National Capital Region (CEAP NCR) have hosted the first-ever HPV Summit for Private Schools. Titled One Community Against HPV: Schools and Families Championing Health Through Immunization, the event gathered educators, parents, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to promote HPV vaccination among school-aged children.

While public schools have long benefited from school-based immunization programs by the Department of Health (DoH) and the Department of Education (DepEd), private institutions have had fewer opportunities. The summit aimed to close this gap by encouraging private schools to integrate HPV vaccination into their health programs.
