Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Conway-Walsh. Dr. Scally and I met this morning in the context of his report. One of the things we talked about is our absolute commitment to the goal of eradicating cervical cancer in this country, and the HPV vaccine is part of that. As the Deputy will be aware, we are rolling out the Laura Brennan HPV catch-up programme. The NIAC advice I have at present is to provide the vaccine to those aged 25 years and younger but I am more than happy to go back to NIAC and ask for updated advice for those over 25 years of age.
