Experts Clarify HPV Vaccination Guidelines for Young Women

Medical experts emphasize that catch-up HPV vaccination is recommended for women up to age 26, despite the government's free program targeting 14-year-old girls.

Data from Fortis Hospital Mohali shows an increase in uptake, with doses administered to women in their 20s rising from 67 in 2023 to over 250 in 2025.

Doctors clarify that the vaccine does not affect fertility and remains effective for women in their 20s, even if they have been previously exposed to one strain of the virus.
