India’s HPV Vaccine Drive
India is ramping up its fight against cervical cancer by training thousands of doctors to promote the HPV vaccine. With cervical cancer accounting for 20% of global cases, this initiative focuses on awareness and accessibility. Although the vaccine has been available since 2008, high costs and misinformation have hindered its adoption. The program aims to educate communities, debunk myths, and increase vaccination rates, leveraging the post-COVID-19 vaccine awareness. This nationwide effort is a crucial step toward eliminating cervical cancer and safeguarding women’s health.
