Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the cost of extending the HPV vaccine to teenage boys.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is updating its advice on the potential extension of the human papillomavirus vaccination programme to include adolescent boys.
An assessment of the overall costs of expanding the programme will be completed once JCVI’s final advice is received.
