HPV vaccine catch-up programme

Free vaccinations in partnership with Provide Community

The University of Essex School of Life Sciences, in partnership with Provide Community, is offering free human papillomavirus (HPV) catch-up vaccinations to eligible students and staff on 27 and 29 October 2026.

Missed your HPV vaccination at school, or never had the opportunity to receive it? You may still be eligible for free vaccination.

Eligibility

The programme is open to eligible students and staff up to their 25th birthday, with extended eligibility up to age 45 for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.

Details

HPV is a common virus that can cause several cancers, including cervical, penile and certain head and neck cancers. Vaccination is a safe and effective way to reduce these risks.

  • When: Tuesday 27 and Thursday 29 October 2026, 10am–4pm.
  • Where: Check in at Silberrad Student Centre Reception. Vaccinations will take place in the mobile clinic on Silberrad Plaza.
  • How: No appointment is necessary, although a waiting system may operate during busy periods. Please bring your University student or staff ID.

Vaccinations will be administered by qualified healthcare professionals from Provide Community.

All medical information will be handled confidentially by the healthcare provider.

For more information, visit the NHS HPV vaccination page.
