NHS England and NHS Improvement’s regional health commissioning teams work with local stakeholders to monitor uptake data and commission human papillomavirus vaccines. In areas of low uptake, regional teams will host catch up clinics in schools and local venues and manage local call and recall processes.
Additional work is ongoing using the data and technological solutions created for the expanded flu and COVID-19 immunisation programmes to measure and record timely vaccination events, react to regional variations and tackle health inequalities.
