India has administered 80 lakh Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine doses to adolescent girls nationwide, marking a major milestone in cervical cancer prevention drive. The nationwide campaign was launched in February with the aim of providing free, voluntary, single-dose vaccination to girls aged 14 years. Uttar Pradesh led the states, with more than 22 lakh adolescent girls vaccinated.
Dr Anita David explains that vaccination should be part of pre-pregnancy planning.

Some vaccines are best given before conception, while flu and Tdap vaccines can be given during pregnancy to help protect both mother and baby.
