Health and Social Protection Minister Klodiana Spahiu visited a health centre in Lushnjë on Saturday, where she reviewed the vaccination process and efforts to inform families about the programme.

Spahiu highlighted the importance of vaccination at an early age as a preventive measure aimed at protecting the long-term health of younger generations.

The new 9-valent vaccine broadens protection against additional HPV strains associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases, strengthening the scope of disease prevention.

The programme seeks to enhance early prevention and public health protection by extending HPV vaccination coverage to both girls and boys aged 13.

“Broader protection, stronger prevention,” is the message accompanying the continued rollout of the HPV vaccination programme across Albania.

Touching on the Normative Act reviewed at the today’s plenary session, Spahiu stated that, at this moment, there is nothing more important than the vaccination campaign.

“The COVID-19 vaccine is voluntary in Albania, but in order to fight this pandemic the only weapon is the vaccine, the only weapon is to make every effort and strengthen the economy, like any other country in the world is doing,” Socialist Party MP Spahiu underlined.
