Kolkata, March 19 (IBNS): Indivac, India’s first professional at-home vaccination services, on Thursday launched Awareness Means Safety, an initiative to highlight the need of vaccination for cervical cancer patients.

Tollywood actor Pallabi Chatterjee and filmmaker Sudeshna Roy along with eminent doctors of different hospitals of Kolkata were present at the launch.

“There is still dearth of awareness amongst people on vaccination services of Cervical Cancer. Current data is from the National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP) that the most common sites of cancer among women are the breasts and the cervix. We have launched our campaign Awareness Means Safety so that women can be made properly aware about the vaccination services of Cervical Cancer and they can treat the problem from an early stage,” said Amit Agarwal, Founder ,CEO, Indivac.

The vaccine protects against the types of HPV (Human papillomavirus) that most often cause cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. It is given in a series of three shots.

It is recommended for 11 and 12 years old girls or even above the mentioned age.

Amit Agarwal added: “Our team is well equipped to vaccinate cervical cancer patients, with utmost care, at their homes. To start off we will promote this campaign across all digital platforms followed by other mediums. We are also offering exempting service charge to all the patients who are availing our services till 14th April, 2016.”

The vaccination costs Rs.2,990.

The services of Indivac will be accessible through their website, app and Helpline-8100300500. Indivac will also record medical history and genealogy of the entire family who avail the service.

The data can be stored, printed or classified into prescriptions and reports. The app will allow you to access to online vaccination card, shareable using email, whatsapp and other social media.
