The new Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine isn’t for everyone. In Scotland Cervarix® is licensed for girls and women aged 10 to 25. Gardasil® is licensed for girls and women aged 9 to 26. In Scotland the immunisation programme is aimed at 12-13 year olds, with a three-year catch-up programme for older girls.

Clinical trials and follow-up studies have shown the HPV vaccine has an excellent safety record but in rare cases girls may not be offered the vaccine for health reasons.
