Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Chris McCafferty (Labour), on Wednesday, 9 July 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 45 members in total.
HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS VACCINE
That this House notes the recent Department of Health decision to purchase a bivalent, rather than quadrivalent, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine for the national HPV immunisation programme; recognises that, as well as preventing cervical cancer, a quadrivalent vaccine would protect against a wider range of conditions, including genital warts, reducing sexually-transmitted infections and costs for the NHS; understands that the UK will be the only country in the world to opt for a bivalent rather than quadrivalent vaccine for a national programme; shares the disappointment of fpa, the Terrence Higgins Trust, Brook and the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV at this decision; and urges the Government to reconsider.
