- The national rollout targets 11,729,787 girls aged 9 to 14, but early returns indicate uneven performance across provinces and districts.
- Sindh reports 2,410,924 girls vaccinated—about 66% of its provincial target—after 12 days, with priority now on low-coverage union councils.
- Rawalpindi district closed the drive at 77.71% coverage (307,421 of 395,609), recording only two minor adverse events following immunization.
- Health officials cite viral infertility myths and other false claims for widespread refusals, with reports of more than three million parental rejections, while stressing that Ceolin is WHO‑prequalified and supplied through Gavi.
