#WATCH | HPV vaccination is the only proven method to prevent cervical cancer, which causes nearly 70,000–80,000 deaths annually in India. As HPV infection is the primary cause of the disease, vaccinating girls before exposure significantly reduces the risk of precancer and cancer. The vaccine targets the most cancer-causing HPV types, including 16 and 18, and has been found to be highly safe and effective: DG, ICMR Dr Rajeev Bahl

Delhi: Member National Institution for Transforming India NITI Aayog Dr. Vinod K Paul says, "The HPV vaccine, which protects against cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix), is being launched by the government as a campaign. We are part of that discussion, and I would like to say that the process of administering this vaccine and the mission that has been started is very good news for the country’s health sector...
VIDEO | Delhi: NITI Aayog member Dr VK Paul (@MoHFW_INDIA), speaking on the HPV vaccine, said, “You are absolutely right. Cervical cancer, which occurs at the mouth of the uterus, or cervix, is the second most common cancer among women. This cancer can be prevented by taking the HPV vaccine. HPV stands for Human Papillomavirus, the virus responsible for causing this cancer. The government’s public health system has now started a campaign to provide this vaccine free of cost, with consent. This vaccine is given to girls at the age of 14. The idea is that before their reproductive life begins and as they grow older, they should be aware and fully protected through this vaccine so that they do not get the infection. If the infection does not occur, then cancer will also not occur.”

Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.
1️⃣ In countries where measles is common it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age, in other countries at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure for full protection.
⏰ Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.
VIDEO | On the impact of pollution on kids, Dr. Rashmi Kapoor, HOD, Department of Pediatrics, Regency Health Kanpur (@Regency_Hsptl), says: "Pollution affects not only the lungs but the entire body of children. Since their brains are still developing, it has been observed that conditions like autism and ADHD are increasing due to pollution. PM 2.5 particles can cross the brain's blood–brain barrier, and once inside, they interfere with the developing neural systems. This may be one of the reasons why cases of autism and ADHD are becoming more common. As children's lungs are still developing, many of them develop asthma and other respiratory problems due to pollution. Those who already have asthma experience frequent flare-ups during periods of high pollution. Moreover, pollution also affects children's cognitive abilities, including learning, reading, writing, and memory, leading to greater difficulties in these areas. Overall, pollution is extremely dangerous for children."
