CMRI Kolkata has launched an HPV vaccination clinic that
offers free jabs and consultation to girls and young women aged nine to 26 in a
move aimed to combat cervical cancer, the second most common cancer in Indian
women.
CMRI aims to provide access to medical facilities, raise
awareness, and encourage early protection from the virus through timely
vaccination, especially among underserved groups.
Timely vaccination may offer up to 90% protection against
