In 2010, the HPV vaccine became available to female students in their first year of secondary school. A 3-year catch-up HPV vaccination programme started in 2011/2012 for girls aged 17 to 18 years in sixth year of secondary school and in non-secondary schools.  Girls vaccinated through this catch-up vaccination programme became eligible for cervical screening from 2019 at age 25. This course updates previous versions based on current information, statistics and programmes.
