Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine – for boys and girls
The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine is available to all students, both boys and girls, in year 8 and is free on the NHS. The first dose will be given in year 8 and the second, usually one year later, in year 9.
By having this vaccination, your child will be protected against the commonest causes of cervical, genital and head and neck cancers. The vaccine also offers protection from the two types of HPV that cause the majority of genital warts. In order to get the best protection, it is essential that your child receives both vaccinations.
