India's HPV drive uptake remains low
India kicked off an HPV vaccine drive this year, reaching over 150,000 health centers for screenings.
Still, by April, only about 10% of eligible girls got the shot, with low awareness and exam schedules making it tough.
Screening rates are even lower; less than 2% of women get checked, so experts say more investment and awareness are key to fighting this preventable cancer.
