The national HPV vaccination programme commenced in May in secondary schools for girls in first year. The second phase of the HPV vaccination programme is now underway. During this calendar year, all girls currently in second year and those who entered first year in September are being offered vaccination. The programme will continue with the vaccine being offered to all girls in first year in secondary school each year. It is not proposed to extend the vaccination programme to other classes at present.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to refund the costs of vaccinations administered privately.
