Cervical Cancer Vaccination for Lasting Protection
HPV vaccination to protect against the leading cause of cervical cancer — safe, effective, and recommended for girls, young women, and adults, administered under expert medical guidance at Sanjeevini Maternity & Fertility Centre.
Understanding HPV & Cervical Cancer Prevention
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection, and certain high-risk strains are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. HPV vaccination works by helping the body build immunity against these high-risk strains before exposure occurs.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when addressed through a combination of vaccination and regular screening — together, they offer strong, long-term protection.
At Sanjeevini Maternity & Fertility Centre, Dr. Vasundhari M.J. provides personalised guidance on vaccine eligibility, timing, and scheduling based on your age and health profile.
