Dear Mr. And Mrs.: ____________________________________________
The Department of Health through the Regional Office III and Provincial/City Health Office of _______________
in collaboration with the Department of Education, shall conduct free Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
among public Grade 4 female learners (within the age range 9-13 years old) on August 2017 (first dose) and on
February 2018 (second dose).
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for the vast majority of cases of cercial cancer. Most sexually
active women and men are infected with HPV at some point in their lives, with maximum risk of exposure in young
adults between 15 and 24 years of age.
Adolescent age group makes up a significant proportion of each country’s population. In the Philippines,
they comprise about 21.5 percent of almost 20 million of the 92 Filipinos in the 2010 census (NSO, 2010) as cited by
the University of the Philippines Population Institute. They are teh major contributors to the labor force and thus
form the backbone of each country’s economy.
Maximum benefit from HPV vaccination may be obtained in adolescents because they have not yet been
exposed to HPV and they mount the highest immune response to vaccination.
This Notification is being issued to you as information of the activity that will be conducted on August 2017
and February 2018. Should you have further questionss/clarficationos on this matter, please get in touch with the
Principal/School Head.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
