Update from The Ministry of Health
Rebecca Meek — October 28, 2021
The Ministry of Health has advised that scheduled childhood vaccinations including HPV can be administered before, after, or at the same time as the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination.
This will help ensure that routine immunisation programmes (such as MMR and HPV) can continue without disruption as we progress our COVID-19 vaccine roll out. Due to the above guidance - The School Based Vaccination Programme will continue to provide HPV vaccinations as planned with your school.
