HPV School Based Vaccination Programme for Years 8 and 9 on Thursday 10 February 2022
The HPV vaccination programme in the UK consists of 2 doses of the vaccine, which is started before the child’s 15th birthday. All children will be offered their first dose in Year 8 and a second dose in Year 9.
As you will be aware, this programme was cancelled last year due to the pandemic, so we will be offering first dose to both boys and girls in Year 8 and Year 9.
We have provided links below for children and young people and their families as a means of information sharing.
