If you have any concerns, ring your family doctor.
It is important to have both doses of HPV vaccine to be fully protected. If you have any questions, ring the public health nurse. Please do not contact the school.
If you cannot contact your family doctor or public health nurse you can call Healthline on 0800 611 116.
It is important to report any unexpected side effects after immunisation to your family doctor or the public health nurse. If you are unsure about whether a symptom might be related to the vaccine, discuss this with your family doctor or the public health nurse.
Health professionals should report reactions that happen after immunisation to the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM). You can also report them by emailing CARM or using the online reporting form on the CARM website.
