HPV vaccination campaigns in Ludhiana and Gurugram have been extended or continue due to low uptake among eligible girls aged 14-15. Ludhiana extended its 90-day drive by another 90 days after vaccinating only a small fraction of its 40,000 target, while Gurugram has vaccinated 2,706 girls against a 16,014 target. Health officials cite vaccine hesitancy and awareness gaps as challenges and are intensifying outreach through schools, community efforts, and local leaders to improve coverage and prevent cervical cancer.
