By vaccinating children early, we are helping to protect future generations from a disease that has caused immeasurable pain to families across Belize,” the Special Envoy said.
“While some individuals and religious institutions may have concerns about the HPV vaccine, protecting children from a preventable disease must remain a national priority,” the statement added.
The Special Envoy further called on communities, families, parents, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and leaders across Belize to stand united in safeguarding women and girls from this preventable disease and to support efforts that advance a healthier and more protected future for all.
