<p>National Health Service commissioned School Age Immunisation Service providers
have robust catch-up plans in place for the adolescent human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccination programme based on population need, utilising opportunities from the move
to one dose in September 2023.</p><p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) works closely
with several charities to develop resources that can be used to raise awareness of
HPV. The UKHSA also publishes annual statistics to support local NHS teams in developing
plans to improve uptake and reduce inequalities for the HPV universal programme. These
