http://www.ntv.co.ke Standard four pupils at Central Primary School in Kitui are a lucky lot. They are the first in Kenya, and Africa too, to receive the HPV vaccine that is aimed at preventing Cervical Cancer... The Ministry of health has partnered with various other organisations to give this injection which when privately administered costs around 9,000 shillings per dose. The three dose vaccine will be administered free of charge to standard four girls all over the country, with Kitui County being the pilot county. Mercy Juma reports on this new front in the war against cancer in our weekly feature health assignment
