School Leaver Tetanus
If you have missed your school leaver tetanus shot, you can have it done at the surgery.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the name of a family of viruses that affect the skin and the moist membranes that line your body, such as those in your cervix, anus, mouth and throat. These membranes are called the mucosa.
The HPV vaccine has been offered to all girls and in school year 8 for over 10 years. Since September 2019, the vaccine has also been offered to year 8 boys. This is because the evidence is clear the HPV vaccine helps protect both boys and girls from HPV-related cancers.
The programme is delivered largely through secondary schools, and consists of two doses that are given over a 6-12 month period.
