Poonch, February 27 (IANS). Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the national HPV vaccination campaign on February 28 in Ajmer and Rajasthan to protect women from cervical cancer. In this regard, all preparations have been completed under the supervision of Dr. Ruby Naz Bhatti, Deputy CMO at Raja Sukhdev Singh District Hospital in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir.
Talking to IANS regarding this campaign, Dr. Ruby Naz Bhatti said that we are very grateful to Prime Minister Modi that he has decided to start this vaccination campaign to protect our daughters from cervical cancer.
He told that this vaccine will be made available free of cost to our daughters and girls. This vaccine was earlier available in the private sector. I have spent thousands of rupees and got my two daughters administered two doses each. Now it will be provided free of cost to girls of 14-15 years of age across the country.
Appealing to the people, Dr. Ruby Naz Bhatti said that everyone should get their daughters aged 14-15 years vaccinated to protect them from cervical cancer, because in India, after breast cancer, cervical cancer is causing the highest number of deaths. This HPV vaccine is completely safe. He also appealed to the people not to pay attention to any kind of rumours.
Dr. Ruby Naz Bhatti said that cervical cancer has become very common. It has become the second largest cause of deaths of women in India. Appealing to the people of his area, he said that do not be afraid of this vaccine, do not panic. It must be installed for the safety of girls.
He said that various types of misleading videos are being shared on social media. I myself am a mother of two girls and have got them vaccinated. Don’t trust such videos. This vaccine is completely safe. Can talk to our doctors.
It is noteworthy that with the launch of the HPV vaccination campaign by the Prime Minister, the vaccination campaign will be started in Poonch like other parts of the country.
