Delhi high court refuses HPV shots stay, but seeks Centre's response
Delhi High Court refused to stay the HPV immunisation campaign but sought Centre's response on justification for introducing the vaccine.
The court gave the Centre, CDSCO, and ICMR four weeks to file replies on the vaccine's introduction.
The court emphasized that half-baked vaccines should not be administered and proper protocol must be followed.
A PIL raised concerns over long-term safety, lack of informed consent, and monitoring of adverse events for HPV vaccines in the Universal Immunisation Programme.
Next hearing scheduled for October 29.
