India Administers Over 8 Million HPV Vaccinations in Nationwide Campaign
India's National HPV Vaccination Campaign, launched in February, has administered over 8 million doses to 14-year-old girls, covering about two-thirds of the eligible population. States like Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Mizoram report full coverage, while others have varying rates. The free, single-dose Gardasil-4 vaccine aims to prevent cervical cancer, a leading cancer among Indian women. The campaign involves community engagement, parental consent, and monitoring through government health facilities and digital platforms.
