🚨 Meet the people shaping Africa’s vaccine policies: SACEMA’s Policy Modelling Fellows use local data to build tools for polio and measles in Africa. 🔗 www.sacema.org #HumanlyPossible #VaccinesWork

Cervical cancer is the top cause of cancer death among women in South Africa. 🧬 Women living with HIV face even greater risks. MSc student Kim Malloch (supervised by Dr Cari van Schalkwyk) is modelling how therapeutic HPV vaccines (TxVs) could turn the tide. 🌍 #HPV #CancerPrevention #Vaccines

🎯 Cervical cancer is vaccine-preventable. In South Africa, too many girls are missing their HPV shots. SACEMA’s models show that without better coverage, we won’t reach elimination targets. 📢 Let’s change that. HPV vaccines work and #ImmunizationForAll is #HumanlyPossible. #CervicalCancer #HPV

🍼 Immunity should start from birth. The #IMPACTHB project is modelling real solutions: ✅ Maternal screening; ✅ Timely birth-dose vaccination 📍Focus: High-risk, high-HIV settings where gaps are widest. 🌍 Goal: Eliminate #HepB for good. 🧠 Dive into our work 👉 www.sacema.org/2024/07/29/w...

🧬 Vaccines save 6 lives a minute. This #WorldImmunizationWeek we’re highlighting how modelling + policy + people = vaccine access for all. Stay tuned as we spotlight HPV, hepatitis B, measles, and our Policy Modelling Fellows. #HumanlyPossible #VaccinesWork #SACEMAResearch #ResearchforImpact
