Before leaving for New Delhi, Chief Minister Yadav virtually participated in the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Rajasthan on Saturday.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister stated that the Madhya Pradesh government has set a target of vaccinating nearly 800,000 adolescent girls, for which over 758,500 vaccine doses have been received from the Central government.
He said that these vaccines will be administered to eligible girls aged 14 to 15 years. They will only receive one dose.
"This vaccine, which costs around Rs 4,000 in the market, will be made available free of charge at identified government institutions. The campaign will run for the next three months," Chief Minister Yadav said in a statement.
He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking concrete steps to protect daughters (girl children) from serious diseases like cancer, and the HPV vaccination campaign is part of that commitment.
"In a historic initiative towards protecting the health of daughters and women in Madhya Pradesh, a state-wide HPV vaccination campaign has been launched today," he said.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also urged parents to ensure their daughters are vaccinated for a bright and cancer-free future and make the campaign a success.
