Centre reports 120 adverse events from 56 lakh HPV vaccine doses; court refuses to halt drive
The Centre has reported 120 adverse events following the administration of nearly 56 lakh doses of HPV vaccine across the country. The health ministry disclosed the figures as part of ongoing scrutiny of the immunisation programme.
A High Court refused to grant a stay order on the HPV vaccination drive, allowing the initiative to continue. The court's decision came amid concerns raised regarding vaccine safety and adverse event monitoring.
