Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the uptake of the HPV vaccination in each of the constituent parts of the UK since that vaccination programme began.

Health is a devolved matter and we can only provide data for England. The United Kingdom human papillomavirus immunisation programme began in 2008/09, with a three-dose schedule. In 2013/14, the UK moved to a two-dose schedule.

Public Health England collects annual coverage data for England, available to view at the following link:

Coverage for the three-dose schedule (2008/09–2013/14) can be seen at the following link:
