Last year Myriam, a 13-year-old high school student from Central Uganda was vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The health workers who came to her school explained to Myriam’s class that the vaccines would protect them from developing a type of cancer that affects their reproductive systems. “It was my first time to hear about it,” said Myriam. She says she wanted to get the HPV vaccine because “I was scared I would not have children.” Image by Sascha Garrey. Uganda, 2014
