The  Uawa Health Centre and Tolaga Bay Area School have co-designed a modified information sharing and delivery process with support from the TDHB to improve the 2017/18 HPV vaccination programme. It aims to improve information sharing and increase uptake of the vaccination, especially by males. Vaccinations were as offered at school and included education sessions with males led by males (a GP and science teacher).

An evaluative case study of this successful initiative was recently completed, with funding support from Cancer Society Central Districts and the J R McKenzie Trust to critically reflect on what worked well and to share learnings.
