The Ludhiana district health department has announced a 90-day extension of its human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination campaign due to a poor response, which left thousands of eligible adolescent girls unvaccinated. Launched earlier this year for girls aged 14 years who have not yet turned 15, the campaign struggled with awareness gaps and vaccine hesitancy among parents. District immunisation officer Dr Harpreet Singh emphasized the goal of achieving 100% coverage, stating that the extension will facilitate reaching those who missed the initial phase. To enhance participation, health teams will conduct door-to-door mobilization, create lists of uncovered beneficiaries, and hold additional vaccination sessions in schools and communities. Civil surgeon Dr Ramandeep Kaur urged parents to prioritize the vaccine, assuring them of its safety and effectiveness. The campaign targets the vaccination of nearly 40,000 girls, and officials are optimistic that increased community engagement will bridge the coverage gap and improve vaccination rates.
