According to health department authorities, steps have been taken in tamil Nadu to vaccinate girls between the ages of 9 and 14 against cervical cancer in schools and Anganwadi centres. After breast cancer, cervical cancer is the second most frequent cancer among women globally. It is interesting that 25% of the affected women worldwide are Indian. According to data, 80 000 women in india are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. The national government then made the decision to put into place a plan to immunise girls at a young age.
The HPV vaccine will therefore be given in the first phase in tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. In this instance, the tamil Nadu Public health Department has stated that the programme is ready to be put into place.
Officials from the health department in tamil Nadu stated: In tamil Nadu, we are gathering data on schoolgirls between the ages of 9 and 14. The affected schools have also informed us of this, so we know something about it. It is intended to keep the vaccines adequately chilled and give them to the recipients in their schools and Anganwadi centres after the central government has delivered them.
