Nauru launches new cancer vaccination campaign
Nauru has started a nationwide immunization drive targeting cervical and related cancers with expanded HPV vaccination.
The Nauru Ministry of Health has launched a new cancer prevention initiative that extends HPV vaccination coverage to both girls and boys across the country. The campaign aims to reduce the incidence of cervical and other HPV‑related cancers by boosting vaccination rates in schools and community settings. Public Health officials are coordinating house‑to‑house outreach and school‑based clinics to ensure broad participation, particularly among adolescents. The program is part of a broader strategy to improve non‑communicable disease outcomes and strengthen Nauru’s primary health care system.
