Sahapau CHC: Vector-Borne Diseases & HPV Vaccine Training A training session on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and vector-borne diseases was conducted at Sahapau Community Health Center (CHC) for health workers including CHOs, ANMs, staff nurses, and ASHA volunteers. The program highlighted the role of the HPV vaccine in preventing cervical cancer in women. Starting from April, the vaccine will be administered to girls aged 15 to 16 at Sahapau CHC. Beneficiaries will need to register via their phones to receive the vaccination date and time. In the coming months, the vaccine will also be integrated into the regular immunization schedule for the community. The training also covered vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and kala-azar, which spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes or sandflies. It was explained that these diseases thrive in warm and humid conditions, such as during the monsoon season. The environment, including rainfall and temperature, plays a significant role in the proliferation of disease-carrying insects and the rapid spread of these illnesses.#sahapau_chc #hpv_vaccine #vector_borne_diseases #dengue #malaria
