The ongoing HPV vaccination drive in Nepal has shown awareness among students, parents, and teachers about the importance of administering the anti-HPV vaccine. Today, in Kendriya Vidyalaya Kathmandu, adolescent girls from classes 6 to 12 were administered the HPV vaccine after Anita Khanal, a public health officer from the Government of Nepal, along with a WHO team, shared prevention methods for HPV infections.
