The NHS in Dorset is offering you a FREE HPV vaccination at locations across Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset this February and March.

If you’re 16-24 you may be eligible. 🙌 Read more below.

Don’t miss this chance to protect yourself against serious health risks.

HPV vaccinations help protect everyone from:

âś… Genital warts
âś… HPV-related cancers like penile, anal, vaginal, cervical, and throat cancer

The good news is, just one vaccination dose can help to protect you from HPV for life.

Not sure if you already had it in school? Come chat to us at one of the walk-ins, or email/ text us on the details below. 

Who can come to a drop in clinic for their HPV vaccination?

  • Females born on or after 1 September 1991 (up to age 24)
  • Males born on or after 1 September 2006 (up to age 16, 17 and some 18 year olds)

If you are transgender and between the age 16 – 24 you are eligible for the HPV vaccination. 

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.
