According to public health data, India records over 1.27 lakh new cervical cancer cases and nearly 80,000 deaths annually, highlighting the urgent need for early prevention through vaccination.

The program integrated: WHO-recommended HPV vaccination Community-level awareness sessions on cervical cancer prevention Outreach across urban, semi-urban, and grassroots communities All vaccinations were administered under appropriate medical supervision, strictly following World Health Organization (WHO) protocols to ensure safety and clinical compliance. As part of the immunization process, the first dose was successfully administered to all beneficiaries. To ensure complete protection: Second dose for the 9–14 age group is planned for June 2026 Third dose for the 14–26 age group is scheduled for October 2026 In addition to immunization, trained health educators and social workers conducted structured awareness sessions, focusing on cervical cancer prevention, benefits of early vaccination, and addressing common misconceptions—thereby strengthening informed participation within communities.
