question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effect of the men who have sex with men (MSM) vaccination programme on the incidence of HPV-related diseases in MSM.
tabling member constituency	Washington and Sunderland West
tabling member printed	Mrs Sharon Hodgson
uin	203824
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2019 answer text <p>The national human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme for men who have sex with men (MSM) began on 1 April 2018 and is being introduced via a phased roll out in all sexual health and human immunodeficiency virus clinics across England. As this programme can span up to two years, and some HPV-related diseases (i.e. cancers) take years to develop following infection, the full impact of this vaccination programme on the incidence of diseases will not be fully seen for many years. However, data is being collected to monitor the impact on diagnoses of anogenital warts and on the prevalence of HPV infection in MSM. It is expected that this will provide the earliest assessment of the initial effects of the programme in 2019/20.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 09/01/2019 15:10:29 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
