The Syrian Ministry of Health (MOH), supported by WHO, UNICEF and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has launched the second round of Big Catch-Up vaccination activity this week.

Timor-Leste launches HPV Vaccine for 11–14 years girls. With support from partners, the vaccine will help protect girls and women against cervical cancer: a common yet preventable disease.

The allocation follows a Gavi Board decision in December 2023 to approve US$ 290 million funding for the “Big Catch-Up” initiative.
