This guidance partly complements and updates the 2008 and 2012 guidance documents on the introduction of HPV immunisation in EU/EEA Member States. It also covers the efficacy of the 9-valent vaccine, which was not licensed when the last guidance was published.
The campaign is marked across Europe every April and aims to raise awareness of the importance of immunisation. ECDC supports the week by launching a new European Vaccination Information Portal with up to date information on human papillomavirus.
