Confirmation of national HPV vaccination and immunisation catch-up campaign for 2025/26 letter

Thank you for all you are doing to support vaccinations and immunisations delivery.

You will be aware that practices are required to participate in a national vaccination and immunisation campaign each year, as a requirement of the GP contracts. This year, the agreed campaign is a catch-up campaign for HPV vaccination. The HPV vaccination programme is reporting uptake levels below the national target and our overall uptake rates remain below the WHO target across all regions. For the 2025/26 GP campaign, we would like practices to invite unvaccinated individuals aged 16-24 for their HPV vaccine.
