Hpv

David Edwards, from Cardiff, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour near his tonsils and tongue in 2022 after noticing a small lump on the underside of his jaw.

Year 8 students will be offered the jab as Manx Care's vaccination team visit secondary schools on the Island in February.

Children aged 12-13 will only need one HPV vaccine to be considered fully immunised rather than two from autumn 2023.
