Jharkhand Cervical Cancer Vaccination Drive Slow: Low Coverage for Girls
Jharkhand's 100-day free anti-cervical cancer vaccination drive for girls aged 14-15 is progressing slowly, with only 1.26% coverage achieved in the first fortnight. Palamu district lags significantly, prompting the administration to launch a sensitization campaign involving the education department to address parental concerns and misgivings about the vaccine's safety and necessity.
