Delhi High Court Refuses to Stay HPV Vaccination Drive

The Delhi High Court on July 29, 2026, declined to stay the Centre's ongoing HPV vaccination drive, citing no evidence of immediate harm.

Government data shows 5.5 million doses have been administered to 14-year-old girls as of July 25, with 120 reported adverse events and 42 involving slightly aggravated symptoms.

The court directed the Centre, CDSCO, and ICMR to file replies within four weeks, with the next hearing scheduled for October 29.
