Information for guardians and students about HPV (human papillomavirus) and vaccination against HPV.

This report describes a health economic evaluation that investigates the potential cost-effectiveness of an extension of the national vaccination programme for children against human papilloma virus to also include boys. Today, only girls are offered vaccination within the national vaccination programme.

In Sweden, children are offered protection against eleven diseases through the national vaccination programme for children. The vaccination programme for persons at risk includes vaccinations against pneumococcal infections.

On this page you find a table showing how the Swedish vaccination programme for children has evolved over the years.

Recommendations for vaccination aim towards protecting children and adults with an increased risk of becoming infected or of becoming severely ill following an infection. The regions can choose whether or not to implement the recommendations, and if the individual has to pay for the vaccination or not.
