🚨 URGENT NOTE FOR AWAKEN INDIA MOVEMENT VOLUNTEERS 🚨 HPV Vaccine Drives – Consent is Mandatory If HPV vaccination is happening in your area (schools/camps/hospitals/PHCs), you must submit the Informed Consent Format to the concerned authority and clearly tell them this: The authority administering the vaccine is required not only to obtain the parent’s signature on the informed consent form, but also to verbally explain, in a language understood by the parent, the potential adverse effects of the vaccine. Additionally, as per the MR judgment, a half-page advertisement detailing the adverse effects of the HPV vaccine must be published. Key point:✅ No signature = no vaccine.✅ No verbal explanation in the parent’s language = no informed consent.✅ Parents must be informed in advance about risks/adverse effects before any child is vaccinated. Volunteer action: Identify the drive → meet the officer/school authority → hand over the consent format → insist on informed consent procedure. Stay calm, firm, and lawful.
