The HPV vaccine helps prevent HPV related cancers in both boys and girls – these cancers include cervical, anal, genital, head and neck cancers. Since the vaccine was introduced in England, there has been a drop in the number of cases of HPV and it is expected to save hundreds of lives every year.

The HPV vaccination is offered to boys and girls aged 12 to 13 years old (in school Year 8) and older children up to school leaving age (Years 9-11) via schools and community clinic setting. Anyone who has missed out on their HPV vaccine will be able to get the vaccine through their GP practice until their 25th birthday (applicable to boys born after 1 September 2006 who became eligible from September 2019).
