Vaccines have played a crucial role in improving public health globally, and their impact on women’s health is particularly significant when analyzed through the lens of gendered dimensions of health. Gender roles, biological differences, cultural practices, and socio-economic disparities all shape women's access to, experiences with, and outcomes from vaccination programs. A nuanced understanding of these interactions reveals both the transformative potential of vaccines for women and the barriers that continue to exist in ensuring equitable access. One of the primary ways vaccines influence women’s health is through the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality. In India, the widespread implementation of the tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccination for pregnant women under the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) has significantly reduced neonatal tetanus, which was once a major cause of infant mortality. Tetanus immunization not only protects the child but also safeguards the health of the mother during childbirth. This is critical in rural and underserved areas where hygienic birth conditions cannot be guaranteed. Another significant example is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which directly addresses women's health needs by preventing cervical cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. In India, cervical cancer accounts for nearly one-fifth of the global burden, and the disease disproportionately affects women from lower socio-economic strata who have limited access to regular screening and early treatment. The introduction of the HPV vaccine has the potential to drastically reduce cervical cancer incidence. However, the uptake of the vaccine has been hindered by cultural stigmas around sexual health, lack of awareness, and misconceptions about the vaccine's impact on sexual behavior, reflecting how gender norms intersect with health interventions.
