Tuyen Quang was chosen to deploy free HPV vaccination from 2026

The Ministry of Health has just issued Decision 2780/QD-BYT on the expanded immunization plan for the period 2026 - 2028, in which it continues to deploy free vaccination of 13 types of vaccines for children and pregnant women. According to the plan, the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology has requested the Institutes of Hygiene and Epidemiology/Pasteur to select 1 representative locality in each region to deploy HPV vaccination in the expanded immunization program from 2026, prioritizing disadvantaged areas.

HPV vaccine will be injected free of charge in the National Expanded Immunization Program from 2026.

As a result, four provinces were selected: Tuyen Quang, Quang Ngai, Dak Lak and Vinh Long. In these localities, 11-year-old girls will be vaccinated with HPV vaccine for free in the next three years. The selection was based on regional representation and favorable conditions for small-scale implementation.

Currently, the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology is reviewing and estimating the demand for HPV vaccines according to supply capacity. It is expected that each year in the period 2026 - 2028, about 18,000 children in the implementation areas will be vaccinated against HPV virus.
