What further consideration has the Cabinet Secretary given to extending the HPV vaccine to adolescent boys, following the answer to a question from Angela Burns a year ago, which stated that the Welsh Government was awaiting the conclusion of the review of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services | Answered on 09/05/2018
We take advice on immunisation matters from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. The Committee has been considering stakeholder responses since publishing an interim statement in 2017. An independent review is being carried out on the methodology used in its cost effectiveness modelling and the impact of equality requirements. We await the Committee’s updated advice when this work is completed.
