US EditionMississippi Works to Decrease HPV-Related Cancers by 2030
Gavi's campaign has increased HPV vaccine coverage to 25% in supported countries by 2024, aiming to prevent 1.4 million cervical cancer deaths globally.
- On Sunday, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance announced that a major effort has protected 86 million girls in high-risk countries with the HPV vaccine.
- Coverage gains follow a gap in access to the HPV vaccine in lower‑income countries, where a campaign launched in 2023 raised coverage to 25% by end of 2024, triple the 8% in 2022.
- The burden is stark: in 2022 most deaths were in high-risk countries, with 90% of 350,000 cervical cancer deaths and 93% of infections occurring among the unvaccinated.
- Local disparities in vaccination rates could limit the campaign’s protective reach, as statewide increases can mask wide variation at the school and district level.
- Longer term, Gavi projects substantial lives saved from broader HPV vaccination, estimating that expanded HPV vaccine use will prevent 1.4 million deaths from cervical cancer.
