Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many school children received a (a) first and (b) second dose of the human papillomavirus vaccination in each month from April 2019 to September 2021 inclusive.

The information is not available in the format requested. The UK Health Security Agency publishes an annual report on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage by academic year cohort in the United Kingdom. The latest report is available at the following link:
