    Moving to a single dose vaccine schedule for HPV is being labelled a no-brainer

    Moving to a single dose vaccine schedule for HPV is being labelled a no-brainer


    It's currently given to year eight students in two doses, six months apart.

    The Public Health Communication Centre says a single dose would improve uptake, cost less and relieve strain from the health system.

    Centre Medical Officer, Dr Oz Mansoor , says our coverage are falling behind countries like Australia and the UK.

    He says we need to be asking why such a fantastic vaccine isn't being taken up as much.
