In 2009, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was introduced to the Danish children’s vaccination program for girls aged 12-18.
Ten years later it was expanded to include 12-year-old boys in a development that has been widely praised as a resounding success.
New figures from the State Serum Institute (SSI) have shown that 85 percent of 12-year-old girls and 82 percent of boys of the same age got the first of two HPV vaccines in 2020.
And of them, 42 percent of the girls and 38 percent of the boys have got the second vaccination and thus completed the treatment.
