The question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation's recent report that recommends offering the human papillomavirus vaccine at sexual health clinics to men who have sex with men, whether it will introduce such a programme and, if so, when this will begin, whether it will be accompanied with a public awareness campaign and what schedule of vaccinations will be required.
The answer
The Scottish Government welcomes the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s (JCVI) consultation on its interim findings in relation to human papillomavirus vaccination for men who have sex with men. These JCVI findings are interim only at this stage. The Scottish Government will carefully consider the final advice from the JCVI once this is available, following the committee’s consultation.
