Everyone eligible aged between 16 years and 25 years are being invited into the surgery to catch up on their missed HPV vaccine from when they were in school.

The HPV vaccination is given to boys and girls in year 8 at school, but some people may have missed it at the time. If you were offered the vaccine in school and missed it, you can catch up anytime until your 25th birthday.

The HPV vaccine helps protects against a common infection called HPV, that in some cases can lead to some types of cancer, such as cervical, head and neck.

Speak to our reception team to check you have had your vaccine, and if you missed it, you can book your appointment to catch up.

For more information on HPV and the HPV vaccine see the NHS website
