The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Gardasil) catch up schedule in general practice is available until June 2009 to females not in school and under the age of 27 years. A course of three injections is given over 6 months. This provides a unique opportunity for sexual health screening in an age group where chlamydia screening is a priority.
