Luistro on the HPV vaccine

“I did not rule out the HPV vaccine program, I merely asked for more time to study it,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said in a phone conversation yesterday. The head of the Department of Education was reacting to Tuesday’s column (“Morals and HPV”) on the decision of the DepEd not to include the vaccine program on HPV in the just-launched national immunization program in public schools.
