The papillomavirus is responsible each year for more than 6,000 new cases of cancer and France is very behind in vaccination. This Tuesday, Emmanuel Macron announced the implementation of a “generalized” free vaccination campaign in colleges for 5th graders in order to eradicate the papillomavirus.
“We are going to generalize from the start of the next school year for the 5th grade”, indicated the Head of State during a meeting with students in a college in Jarnac (Charente). “This helps prevent a lot of cancers,” added Emmanuel Macron.
