About this statute
This text is the preamble to Law 1626 of 2013, stating that the law guarantees free and mandatory vaccination for the Colombian population covered by it and adopts measures for prevention of cervical cancer. El Gobierno Nacional debe garantizar la vacunación gratuita contra el VPH para todas las niñas de cuarto de primaria a séptimo de secundaria, y debe adoptar las medidas presupuestales necesarias. The health ministry, or the relevant successor entity, must update the Expanded Immunization Program (PAI). The national government may issue rules for gradual HPV vaccination, and the health ministry must run public information and education campaigns, especially in higher-risk departments. This article says the law takes effect when it is promulgated and repeals any conflicting rules.
