HPV vaccinations
The good news is that from January 2017 the government has decided to fund HPV vaccinations (Giardisil) for both boys and girls under the age of 27. It gives protection against various forms of cancer.
This vaccination is usually given at age 11 but can be given at any age if you or your child missed out.
The vaccine is highly recommended and for more information please visit the Canterbury District Health Board website, the Medsafe Govt website or talk to your nurse or doctor.
Please make an appointment for your HPV vaccination by calling 03 3588299 or by sending us a message
