HPV vaccine
Girls and boys aged 12 to 13 years (born after 1 September 2006) are offered the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as part of the NHS vaccination programme.
The vaccination is designed to protect against cervical cancer by preventing HPV. This is a sexually transmitted virus that can lead to cervical cancer and other health problems.
From September 2023, most people aged 24 and under who are eligible for the HPV vaccine will only need one dose of the vaccine.

Relationship and Sexual Health Day
Every year in June there is a national Relationship and Sexual Health Day held across the county.
It's an annual celebration of the excellent relationships and sex education that educates children and young people about healthy relationships and positive sexual health.
