India is taking significant steps to enhance its vaccination strategy, with a special focus on adults, particularly those aged 55 and above, said Dr. N K Arora, Member of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation in India (NTAGI), as part of the World Immunization Week.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" >NTAGI is the highest advisory body on immunization in the country, which consists of independent experts who provide recommendations on vaccines after reviewing data on disease burden, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of vaccines. <br><br>In an exclusive interaction with <strong>HealthandMe, </strong>Dr. Arora shared that the country &quot;is in the process of establishing priority pathogens and vaccines aimed at the adult population&quot;.<br><br>This initiative will target those above the age of 55 or 60 to tackle infections that are particularly serious in older individuals, especially those living with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cancer.<br><br>&quot;The process has started. This year, we will be moving in that direction,&quot; said Dr. Arora.<br></p><p><b><font>HPV Vaccination: A Milestone in Preventing Cervical Cancer <br></font></b></p><p>The expert lauded the introduction of the HPV vaccine for young girls. Dr. Arora highlighted the critical importance of this initiative, given India&apos;s status as the country with the highest number of cervical cancer cases globally.<br><br>&quot;Cervical cancer is preventable by the HPV vaccine, and we are now in the fortunate position of having a domestically manufactured vaccine,&quot; he explained. <br><br>The first round of vaccinations has already commenced, and Dr. Arora urged the media and public to dispel any misinformation surrounding the vaccine to ensure its success. <br></p><nh-chunk-delimit />
