This Thursday, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Union Health Minister denied the charge that from now onwards ndian girls will no longer be used as guinea pigs for giving anti-cervical cancer vaccines.

The use of HPV has been stopped in the country following the allegation that deaths in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh might have resulted from this vaccine.

“Though prima facie there does not appear to be any connection between the deaths and the vaccination, in order to allay apprehensions the States have been advised not to carry out any further vaccination till further orders.

” The Centre comprised a committee of professionals to discover the safety and efficiency of these vaccines.
