How many HPV vaccine doses has India administered under the National HPV Vaccination Campaign?

  1. A.More than 22 lakh
  2. B.More than 80 lakh
  3. C.More than 1.2 crore
  4. D.More than 8 crore

Correct answer

B. More than 80 lakh

Explanation

The correct answer is more than 80 lakh, which the Ministry also writes as over 8 million doses. The figure covers the whole campaign since its launch in February 2026 and was announced as a milestone in the prevention of cervical cancer. Option A is wrong because that is the number of adolescent girls vaccinated in Uttar Pradesh alone, the highest for any single state. Option C is wrong because that is the size of the annual cohort of girls aged 14, taken from the Registrar General of India's estimates, and not the number of doses given. Option D is wrong because it misreads the crore and lakh scales and is far above anything in the release. This kind of question is best answered by keeping the national total, the leading state's figure and the annual cohort separate, since all three appear in the same release and are easy to interchange under time pressure.
