How can the uptake of HPV vaccination be increased in school going girls? a qualitative study with multiple stakeholders in Ganjam, Odisha

Improving coverage and health literacy in resource-limited settings requires intensive communication, school-based education, paternal involvement, intersectoral collaboration, and policy changes, including UIP integration.
