HPV Task Force Member, Dr. Christine Palmay, alongside Chair, Dr. Vivien Brown
In early 2022, the Federation of Medical Women of Canada (FMWC) convened a task force that aimed to address the crisis in the Ontario school-based HPV immunization program and to ensure that school-based immunization would recover to (and eventually surpass) pre-pandemic levels.

The task force has met annually since then to review the situation and propose new recommendations. Their latest task force meeting took place August 2024. 

The recommendations and guidelines described within the 2024 White Paper could save thousands of lives by reducing the instances of preventable HPV-related cancers and greatly reduce the burden on our health care system in the future.
