The Kenyan Ministry of Health is set to rollout a cervical cancer vaccine targeting 10-year-old girls starting Friday, in a move that will see the shot included in the national immunisation routine.
The ministry has set aside Ksh800 million ($8 million) to drive the roll-out over the next one year and targets to give the free vaccine against the cancer-causing human papilloma virus (HPV) to about 800,000 girls.
