Cervical Cancer Vaccine in Pakistan: Facts vs Myths | Prof. Dr. Shehryar with Habib Akram Podcast

Habib Akram Podcast | Episode #9 | September 24, 2025 In this special episode of the Habib Akram Podcast, we sit down with Prof. Dr. Shehryar, founder of Cancer Care Hospital & Research Center, Lahore, to address one of the most debated health issues in Pakistan today: the Cervical Cancer Vaccine (HPV vaccine). Recently, the Punjab and Federal Governments have launched a free vaccination campaign targeting girls aged 9 to 14 years, following WHO guidelines. However, social media has been filled with myths, misinformation, and propaganda — from claims of infertility to unnecessary fear. 👉 In this podcast, Prof. Dr. Shehryar clears the confusion by answering key questions: What exactly is cervical cancer and why is it dangerous? Why is the vaccine recommended only for girls aged 9–14? Is the vaccine really safe and effective? Does it cause infertility, as some propaganda suggests? Why awareness is critical in Pakistan, where breast cancer is usually the only cancer women hear about. This podcast aims to provide clear, fact-based information to counter misinformation and help families make informed decisions for their daughters’ health. 📌 Don’t forget to subscribe to the Habib Akram Podcast for more insightful conversations. 💬 Got questions about this topic, or want to recommend a guest for our podcast?
