Population vaccination coverage - HPV for one dose (males 12-13 years old) (15271) Metric type
- Help text
- All boys aged 12-13 years who have received the first (priming) dose of the HPV vaccine within each reporting area (local authority - LA) as a percentage of all boys aged 12-13 years within each area. The human papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation programme has been extended to prevent more males and females getting HPV-related cancers, such as cervical cancer, mouth and throat (head and neck) cancers, and some cancers of the anal and genital areas.
In July 2018, it was announced that the HPV vaccine would be extended to boys aged 12 to 13 years in England. This decision was based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the independent body that advises UK health departments on immunisation. From the 2019 to 2020 school year, 12 to 13 year old boys and girls in school Year 8 will both be eligible for the HPV vaccine.
Some caution should be exercised when comparing coverage figures over time due to data quality issues reported by some data providers. Apparent trends could reflect changes in the quality of data reported as well as real changes in vaccination coverage. The change from a three-dose programme offered nationally within one academic school year to a two-dose programme offered over one or two academic years, depending on the local delivery of the programme, means that during the first year of the two-dose programme national data will only be available for the first (priming) dose.
A small number of LAs offer a GP-based programme and will use a denominator based on all females in the appropriate birth cohort as of 31 August from the LA GP registered population, excluding those on the school roll of neighbouring LAs with schools-based programmes. A small number of boys in the school year 8 may be younger or older than 12-13 years.
