Source: HPV vaccine uptake below pre-Covid level despite ‘encouraging’ rise last year
Fewer schoolchildren are being vaccinated against a virus which can cause cancer than there were pre-pandemic, a new report has revealed.
Official figures from Public Health Scotland (PHS) showed an “encouraging” increase in the number of first-year secondary-school pupils given the HPV vaccine in 2024-25.
A total of 72.6% of S1 students were given the vaccine in the last year, up from 71.5% in 2023-24.
