Why get the HPV vaccination?
HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection. With the right vaccination, you can reduce your risk of developing HPV related cancers and genital warts.
Where and when?
The NHS will be visiting locations across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.
We want to make sure everyone who needs the vaccination gets it. This includes people not in education and those with learning disabilities. That’s why we’re working with schools, employers, and community groups.
More information about locations coming soon.
It’s fast, easy, and FREE!
Getting the vaccination takes just a few minutes, and it’s completely free of charge.
How to get your vaccination
Simply visit a walk-in vaccination clinic in February or March. You don’t need an appointment—just come along and get vaccinated on the spot. It only take a few minutes. 🙌
Consent
If you are 16 or 17, you might need to get your parent or carer’s consent.
On the day, one of our healthcare professionals will need to check you understand the benefits and risks of vaccination and gain your consent to be vaccinated. If you are not able to consent for yourself, we will need to check with a person who has authority to make the decision on your behalf e.g. a parent/guardian.
