Supreme Court Declines to Hear Plea Challenging HPV Vaccination Campaign
The Supreme Court declined to hear a PIL challenging the government’s nationwide HPV vaccination campaign for adolescent girls, emphasizing that existing compensation laws apply for any adverse effects. The court expressed concern that the plea, filed by the Universal Health Organisation, could undermine a vital public health initiative. The petitioner’s counsel clarified the focus was on implementation issues, such as monitoring adverse events and compensation, not opposition to the vaccine itself. The plea was withdrawn following the court’s remarks.
