By GOB Press Office: Cabinet reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the health and wellness of Belizean women, girls, and children through the continued implementation of the national school-based HPV vaccination programme.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to provide the HPV vaccine free of cost through the national school vaccination programme and at health centres across the country, primarily for children ages 10 to 14.
The Government of Belize remains committed to ensuring equitable access to preventive healthcare services for all children and families across Belize.
