HPV vaccine manufacturers commited to provide enough supply to immunise at least 84 million girls in Gavi countries
On Jun. 4, 2020, vaccine manufacturers MSD, GSK, Innovax, Serum Institute of India and Walvax pledged to ramp up human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine supply availability for Gavi-supported countries. This commitment is part of an ongoing UNICEF-led tender that aims to enable Gavi to dramatically increase its reach from 50 million girls, as initially planned, to 84 million girls during the next five-year period, leading to the prevention of an estimated 1.4 million future deaths from cervical cancer.
