Amharc ar fhreagraThe national HPV vaccination programme commenced in May 2010 in secondary schools for girls in first year. All girls currently in second year and those who entered first year in September 2010 have been offered vaccination. The programme will continue with the vaccine being offered to all girls in first year in secondary school each year. It is not proposed to extend the vaccination programme to other classes at present. Unfortunately it will not be possible to refund the costs of vaccinations administered privately.
