Vaccination against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) implemented across five schools in Lübeck
In the picturesque city of Lübeck, a pioneering HPV vaccination campaign has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents and teachers. This initiative, aimed at protecting students against nine high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), has been hailed as a significant step towards health equality.
The campaign, which involved approximately 50 students from five schools in Lübeck, was carefully planned and executed. Pediatricians in private practice were informed in advance, and parent evenings and classroom visits were held to ensure everyone was well-informed about the vaccination and its benefits.
Dr. med. Franziska Noll, head of the Children and Youth Medical Service, praised the project, stating it as a successful contribution to health equality. The ease of access to vaccination through the school setting was particularly commended during the campaign.
The goal of the campaign was twofold: to improve protection against HPV-related diseases such as cervical cancer and to raise awareness about the vaccine. The success of this pilot project has sparked interest in other cities across Schleswig-Holstein, with plans to potentially expand the campaign in the future.
