We would like to take this opportunity to thank all involved for their hard work to continue to deliver the HPV immunisation programme during this challenging time. This included delivery of programmes in school and community settings.ĭuring the 2020 to 2021 academic year, school-aged providers have continued to catch up the 2019 to 2020 academic year pupils, alongside the current year. In June 2020, following the impact of the first wave of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, school-aged immunisation providers commissioned by NHSE were able to implement their restoration and recovery plans to commence catch-up of partially or incomplete programmes during the summer period.
From September 2019 the adolescent HPV vaccination programme became universal with 12 to 13 year old males becoming eligible alongside females. In England, diagnoses of genital warts have declined by 91% and 81% between 20 in 15 to 17 year old girls and boys, respectively (the latter demonstrating herd protection). A 2018 Scottish study showed that the vaccine has reduced pre-cancerous cervical disease in 20 year old females by up to 71%. In 2018, 10 years after the introduction of the programme, the prevalence of HPV types 16/18 in 16 to 18 year old women in England who were offered vaccination at age 12 to 13 years had reduced substantially to less than 2% (compared to over 15% prior to the vaccination programme in 2008). There is growing evidence of the success of the programme so far.

We know that the HPV vaccine offers excellent protection against HPV infections and some cancers in men and women and we urge everyone who is eligible to get this potentially life-saving vaccine when it is offered. This has already been the case for several years for 12 and 13 year olds but now the evidence is clear that 2 doses offers very good protection in all age groups. It is great news that from today almost all those eligible for the HPV vaccine will need just 2 doses to be fully vaccinated. The committee also advised that the 3-dose schedule should continue to be offered to eligible individuals living with HIV or known to be immunocompromised at the time of vaccination.ĭr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: The 2 doses should be given at least 6 months apart.
In May 2020 the JCVI, who regularly review all vaccination programmes, advised that the 2-dose schedule could be extended to adults as the evidence showed 2 doses offers good protection in older individuals. The routine adolescent HPV vaccination programme, offered to 12 to 13 year olds in school, has been following a 2-dose schedule since September 2014. There is also a HPV vaccination programme for gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men ( MSM) up to 45 years of age, who attend sexual health or HIV clinics.
