HPV vaccine - implementation in the UK National HPV vaccine programme primary aim reduce cervical cancer incidence and mortality started in September 2008 bivalent vaccine HPV16/18 girls aged 12-13 catch-up programme in young women up to 18 years boys not included not cost-effective
HPV vaccine - implementation in the UK National HPV vaccine programme started in September 2008 bivalent vaccine HPV16/18 girls aged 12-13 catch-up programme in young women up to 18 years Switch to quadrivalent vaccine from September 2012 - HPV 6/11 and HPV 16/18 also protects against genital warts 3 doses 0, 2, 6-12 months
Proportion of cervical cancer attributable to typespecific HPV infection HPV 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancers 90% of cervical cancer associated with 9 HR HPV types Clifford G, et al. Vaccine 2006. Muñoz N, et al. Int J Cancer, 2004.
Next generation vaccine: Gardasil9 Same protection against HPV6/11/16/18 after adjustment of the antigen dose Increases the proportion of cancers prevented Extended protection against high-risk types: HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 No additional benefit against genital warts Schedule: 3 doses Licensed but not yet used in the UK

Rationale for targeted vaccination of MSM MSM who attend GUM, sexual health and HIV treatment services high incidence of HPV infection but many are still susceptible include more men with high risk sexual behaviour and other STIs HPV 16-associated anal cancer is more common in MSM compared to heterosexual men incidence of anal cancer is also highest in HIV positive MSM; MSM would benefit from direct effect of vaccine. 17
HPV vaccination in MSM Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommendation 2015 Targeted vaccination of MSM attending sexual health/hiv services. Age up to 45 Quadrivalent vaccine bivalent not cost effective Provided that: Vaccine procurement and delivery process can be agreed Vaccine cost should be at national procurement rate Delivery cost is low

HPV in 2016 Prevention of HPV infection Vaccination programme in girls very successful with high coverage rates Pilot programme in MSM just starting, to demonstrate that it can be delivered in a cost-effective way Treatment of genital HPV disease Current options for treatment no major developments, question remains as to what is the best treatment to start with. Role of vaccine unproven. Immunotherapeutic candidate vaccines show limited efficacy.
