HPV Register continues to accept Gardasil notifications from GPs

GPs are encouraged to continue to notify Gardasil doses to the HPV Register despite the cessation of notification payments in June 2010. The benefits of notification are:

• Girls/women will receive a Completion Statement once all 3 vaccinations have been administered and notified to the Register
• Girls within the schools program, with incomplete courses, may receive a History Statement to remind them to complete the 3 dose course
• The Register will provide on-line Overdue Dose reports to GPs and public immunisation providers who have registered for on-line access with the HPV Register
• Providers are able to contact the Register’s Telephone Information Service or view on-line the vaccination status of their patients
• If in the future a booster dose is required, the HPV Register will contact consumers to provide appropriate advice
• Participation in the HPV Register will assist in monitoring how the HPV Vaccination Program is working and measure the effect of the vaccine on cervical cancer

Please contact the HPV Register on 1800 478 734 (1800 HPV REG) for assistance in submitting Gardasil vaccination notifications, or to check the vaccination status of patients. Providers registered for on-line access with the HPV Register, can use the Search facility to check vaccination status of their patients.
