Podar Pearl School, Al Meshaf Campus, participated in Phase 1 of the Annual Vaccination Campaign, coordinated by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The programme aimed to support student health and promote awareness about the importance of vaccination.

The campaign covered students of Grades 8 and 9, with a focus on HPV and Tdap vaccinations. A total of 112 Grade 8 students received their first dose of the HPV vaccine. Meanwhile, 83 Grade 9 students received their second dose of the HPV vaccine along with the Tdap booster dose.

Before the vaccination process began, the doctor addressed students in each group and provided a brief explanation about the vaccines. The doctor also highlighted the importance of vaccination and explained how it helps protect health and prevent certain diseases. As a result, students gained a better understanding of the vaccination process and its role in preventive healthcare.

The school management, school clinic and vaccination team worked together to coordinate the programme smoothly. Moreover, their collective efforts helped ensure an organised and successful vaccination process.

Through the Annual Vaccination Campaign, Podar Pearl School continues to support student well-being and promote health awareness. The initiative also reinforces the importance of preventive healthcare and encourages students to make informed choices about their health.
