Dr. Lucy Jessop:

The school model is the one we would like to stick with, if at all possible. The way we record the data is on a database to which the school teams have access. The problem with going into a pharmacy is that we would not necessarily know whether a girl had been vaccinated already or where she was on her course. There is also the fact that pharmacists are only allowed to give certain vaccines by law at present and HPV is not one of the vaccines that are allowed.

They would need a change in the law and specific training for that so it is not something we need in the short term because I believe we can catch up over the next few months.
