Immunisation

On 5 August 2022, the JCVI published their recommendation of a move to one-dose schedule for the routine adolescent programme and GBMSM programme. This change from 2 to a one-dose dose schedule for all those eligible up to the age of 25 years took place in Scotland from 1 January 2023.

In addition, the programme has now transitioned to Gardasil® 9 as the only HPV vaccine supplied for the national HPV vaccination programme. 

Please note: The updated HPV chapter of the Green Book was published on 20th June 2023.  Practitioners should refer to Scottish Government CMO letters (2022) 34 and 35.

In order to further support the HPV immunisation programme, NHS Education for Scotland in partnership with Public Health Scotland has developed resources for registered healthcare practitioners. These can be found below and include training slides (and accompanying notes)

Please note:  These educational resources continue to be updated as required to support this programme but do not replace the clinical judgement of practitioners. Practitioners should refer to the UK Health Security Agency Green Book Chapter when administering the vaccine.

To help us improve our resources, we would like to ask you a few questions about your experience with using our TURAS pages today.  This will only take a few minutes to complete and your answers will help us improve our future communication and resources.
