Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
From September 2019, all 12 and 13 year olds in school Year 8 will be offered on the NHS the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
It helps protect against cancers caused by HPV, including:
- cervical cancer
- some mouth and throat (head and neck) cancers
- some cancers of the anal and genital areas
It also helps protect against genital warts.
In England, girls and boys aged 12 to 13 years will be routinely offered the first HPV vaccination when they're in school Year 8.
The second dose is normally offered 6 to 12 months after the first (in school Year 8 or Year 9).
It's important to have both doses to be protected.
What you need to do
You must complete one online consent form for each young person.
It is important everyone has a completed form which states if you would like them to receive their first and second dose of the HPV vaccination or not.
Before completing the consent form you will require a code for your child’s school.

Laura's story
Laura didn't have the HPV vaccine and went on to develop cervical cancer at just 25. It's important to have the HPV vaccine which protects against the Human Papillomavirus that causes more than 70% of cervical cancers. Read the HPV leaflet above for more information.
