HPV Vaccination Service

About HPV

HPV, or Human Papilloma Virus, is a virus that affects many people in the UK. High-risk types of HPV can be found in more than 99% of cervical cancers, and it can be passed from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact. There are more than 100 different types of HPV associated with various diseases, but only certain types are associated with cervical cancer. 

HPV can affect more than 80% of people in their lifetime, and it is estimated that over 3 million people have the virus in the UK.

Who can have the HPV vaccine?

The NHS offers immunisation against HPV as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme to children aged 12 and 13 in school Year 8. The 2nd dose is offered 6 to 12 months after the 1st dose. If you miss either of your HPV vaccine doses, speak to your school immunisation team or GP surgery and make an appointment to have the missed dose as soon as possible.

At NoviClinic, our HPV vaccination service is suitable for males and females between the ages of 9 and 45. You can have the vaccine as long as you:

• Haven't already had the full course of the HPV vaccine

• Aren't pregnant

• Haven't had an allergic reaction to a vaccine before

• Haven't had a temperature in the 24 hours leading up to the appointment
