This vaccine has been given to females in Malta since 2012, however it is now being offered to Males aged 12 and above, and all those born on as of the year 2000. If you did not have the opportunity to take this vaccine before, do not miss this chance!

Why is it important to take the HPV vaccine?
The Gardasil 9® (HPV) vaccine protects against 9 types of HPV virus and decreases the risk of genital warts by over 80% in both teens and adults and protects against HPV-related cancers such as cervical cancer and others.
Nurses from the National Immunisation Service and from the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate will be visiting the University of Malta on:
Date: Monday 28th October and Tuesday 29th October 2024
Time: 9 am – 12.30 pm
Location: KSU Common Room, University of Malta
Register: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1H2eK9Zc-K2QdZwIf4VEvWVVtYcaIU4Q8Ua5S2fPXwms/edit?ts=67091742
It is important to bring with you a photo identification (ID card / passport) together with any vaccination records (baby book), if available.
Note that the full course of Vaccination for those 15 years and over is 3 doses in total at 0, 2 and 6 months.
In the case of students aged 16-18, parental consent is also requested. If this is totally unobtainable, concessions and waivers might be carried out at the discretion of the doctor in attendance, whereby the competence of the teen is assessed and the reason why consent was not obtained is clarified. This has all been discussed with the legal team of Primary HealthCare.
Adults 18 years and over DO NOT need parental consent for vaccination.
We are looking forward to meeting you!
