French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Jarnac, in the south-west of France, on Tuesday February 28 to attend a vaccination session against the human papillomavirus, organized in a college. He announced the establishment of a “widespread” free vaccination campaign in colleges for 5th graders to eradicate the papillomavirus. “More than 6,000 cancers are attributable each year to HPV infection,” Sophie Vaux, program coordinator for monitoring vaccine coverage at Public Health France, told AFP.
