INFORMATION FOR MAY CAMPAIGN
The Health Service Executive has announced details of the HPV Vaccination Programme. The HPV vaccine will protect girls from developing cervical cancer when they are adults and will be available free of charge from the HSE.
All girls who are starting 1st Year and 2nd Year in September 2010 will be offered HPV vaccine this year. Vaccines will in the most part be given to girls in second-level schools by HSE immunisation teams, with some girls being invited to special clinics for their vaccine.
The first schools will be visited during May 2010, with the remainder of schools commencing the programme in September 2010. The programme aims to achieve a high uptake of over 80% for a completed three dose vaccine course.
The following information materials will be available for healthcare professionals carrying out this programme. Click on the link you require to download the document.
