Delhi HC Upholds HPV Vaccination Drive Amid Low Uptake in Punjab
Punjab's HPV vaccination campaign, launched to protect girls aged 14-15 from cervical cancer, has seen low turnout in Ludhiana, with only about 1,600 vaccinated against a target of 30,000. Health officials cite misinformation and vaccine hesitancy as key challenges. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court refused to halt the nationwide HPV vaccine drive after the Centre assured its safety, reporting over 55 lakh doses administered with only 120 minor adverse events. The court acknowledged ongoing safety reviews but found no immediate harm warranting suspension.
