Some healthcare givers at some primary healthcare centres in Lagos say they do not know what the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine is all about.
In other facilities visited by our correspondent, healthcare workers — mainly nurses — gave conflicting advice on the recommended dosage of the vaccine; while one worker at one of the public hospitals visited requested a bribe before she would administer the vaccine on our correspondent.
The nurse said the reason for demanding a bribe was because the vaccine is for underage girls and females who have not become sexually active. Her explanation is based on half-truth, according to experts’ advice on the HPV vaccine and who should obtain it
