Human Papillomavirus: Vaccination

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 16 September 2016 to Question 45640, how many participants have received the HPV vaccine as part of the pilot to provide that vaccine to gay and bisexual men.

Answer

In June 2016, a pilot programme was started offering human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to men who have sex with men (MSM) up to the age of 45 attending participating HIV and genitourinary medicine clinics.

Data on the number of eligible MSM receiving HPV vaccination during the pilot is being collected but has not been validated. It is anticipated that initial validated data up to the end of March 2017 will be included in the pilot evaluation report, currently expected early summer 2017.
