Recommendations for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Schedule / Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee on Immunization.

"Since the 2007-2008 school year, Ontario has had a publicly-funded, school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization program for girls which uses the quadrivalent vaccine, Gardasil®. The Ontario program is locally administered by its 36 public health units. Grade eight girls (approximately 13 years of age) are eligible for publicly-funded vaccines using a three-dose schedule administered over a six month period. The provincial program targets a single grade cohort; however, if a grade eight girl has not received the vaccine, she is currently eligible to complete the series until the end of her grade 12 year."--Introduction.
