Eligible Grade 5 girls aged nine years and older can receive a single dose of the HPV vaccine (Cervarix) through the Gauteng school-based vaccination campaign. Parents/caregivers/legal guardians must sign and return consent forms to the schools; no learner will be vaccinated without a signed consent form (except that learners aged 12 years and older may provide their own consent per national health guidelines).

The campaign, which forms part of the Integrated School Health Programme (ISHP), will run from 3 August 2026 to 9 October 2026 at participating independent primary schools across Gauteng. Thereafter, vaccination teams will visit outstanding public primary and special schools to reach eligible learners who may have been missed during the earlier campaign, as the majority of public schools were covered during the rollout conducted earlier this year.
