Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the August Study Group Session of the 11th semester of Health Policy Academy (HPA).

During the August study group session, we discussed the theme of “Improving catch-up vaccine uptake of the HPV vaccine.” The perspectives brought to the discussion through the session included concrete efforts needed to promote the catch-up vaccine uptake policy that came into effect in April 2022. As HPV vaccine uptake has long been a controversial topic that has been both promoted and withdrawn from promotion initiatives in the past, the discussion covered various related topics to tackle this public health challenge.

The 11th semester of HPA will be held over the next six months. It aims to provide participants with opportunities to learn basic knowledge and acquire skills for health policy through lectures by opinion leaders and interactive multi-stakeholder discussions among participants.
