HPV Vaccination
The human papilloma virus (HPV vaccination) is given to boys and girls in year 8 at school, but some people may have missed it at the time. If you were offered the vaccine in school and missed it, you can catch up any time until your 25th birthday.
The HPV vaccine helps protects against a common infection called HPV, that in some cases can lead to some types of cancer, such as cervical, head and neck.
Speak to your GP surgery to check you have had your vaccine, and if you missed it, you can book your appointment to catch up.
