Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I left school at Christmas, how can I get the rest of my doses?

Girls who left school at Christmas will be contacted by their local NHS to make arrangements for any missed or incomplete doses. You will need three separate doses of the HPV vaccine to give you the best protection. You should receive a letter from your local NHS over the next few weeks. This will be sent to your registered NHS address (the address that is used by your GP). In the unlikely event you have not heard from your local NHS by the end of February 2009 you should contact the HPV helpline on 0800 22 44 88.
