A special HPV vaccination week is being organized in Chhattisgarh from July 13 to July 18, 2026, to prevent cervical cancer. The Health Department has ensured comprehensive vaccination arrangements for eligible girls at all Community Health Centers and Primary Health Centers across the state. This campaign marks a significant step towards protecting the daughters of Chhattisgarh from the threat of life-threatening cervical cancer in the future. Achieving 100% vaccination coverage will not only safeguard the health of adolescent girls in the state but also prove decisive in reducing the burden of serious diseases like cancer for future generations.
A Safe Measure for Cervical Cancer Prevention
According to State Immunization Officer Dr. V.R. Bhagat, the HPV vaccine is the most effective and safe measure for preventing cervical cancer. He described this vaccination drive as an investment in the bright and healthy future of the state’s daughters. To ensure the campaign’s success, public awareness is being raised through schools, Anganwadi centers, and health institutions.
Health Department teams are active across the state, and appeals have been made to local public representatives, teachers, and parents to cooperate in making this initiative a success. The department has issued strict directives to all districts to continuously monitor the campaign and meet the target of 100% coverage. Once the campaign concludes, the data collected by the Health Department will be reviewed. The department aims to reach every eligible girl in the state so that serious future health issues can be prevented in a timely manner.
