- Between March and September 2019 Tshwane health workers tried to vaccinate 22 000 grade four girls with two shots of an anti cervical cancer vaccine. But they missed their target and only got to 15 000.
- Now things have worsened. Research shows that parents are increasingly reluctant to sign consent forms for their daughters to be vaccinated after the COVID pandemic. But sister Tebogo Seleka wants to win them over.
- She talks to every mom about a human papillomavirus (HPV) shot that will stop their girls from getting cervical cancer when they’re older. Certain types of the human papillomavirus cause cancer of the cervix. Our TV team takes you to Hammanskraal to meet Seleka.
