Corinthians women join HPV vaccination drive at training ground | OneFootball

Throughout this Wednesday (18th), Corinthians organized, at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, in partnership with Dasa, a company focused on health and diagnostic medicine, an HPV vaccination campaign for the female team athletes of the club. The main goal is, besides encouraging early diagnosis, to adopt preventive processes such as vaccination and medical follow-up.

In a statement released on its official website, Corinthians emphasized that the action is part of 'Lilac March', which aims to increase awareness regarding cervical cancer. Dasa's marketing director, Flavia Drummond, spoke about promoting the action in the sports field along with the impact of the Brabas' representativeness.

“The partnership with Corinthians' women's team is a practical extension of the campaign and reinforces our commitment to women's health. During Lilac March, we conduct awareness actions and also vaccinate the athletes, connecting the message to practice. Women's sports bring values such as discipline, prevention, and continuous body care, which are fully aligned with what we want to encourage: a more active stance of women regarding their own health,” she stated.

Meanwhile, Maria dos Anjos Neves Sampaio Chaves, a gynecologist at Delboni and Lavoisier, noted that HPV often progresses silently. She also emphasized that vaccination is one of the main strategies for preventing the disease.

“The symptoms, usually present in more advanced stages, can include bleeding outside the menstrual period, pain during sexual intercourse, discharge with odor or different appearance, and pelvic pain. It is precisely because of this discreet progression — where the disease can remain for years without clinical manifestation — that screening plays a central role in prevention, besides the vaccine, one of the most effective prevention methods to date. Each woman should be individualized in her care and should always consult a doctor,” she stated.

In 2026, the Brabas will compete in the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, Paulista Championship, Conmebol Libertadores, and Teal Rising Cup. Corinthians' women's team will return to the field next Monday (23rd), at 9 PM (Brasília time), against América-MG, at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, for the fourth round of the first phase of the national tournament.
