1 Notice to all staff: The Patient Group Directions (PGDs) for the Hertfordshire and South Midlands Area Team may only be used by members of the healthcare professions named on the title page, and only if each professional has individually been listed by their manager as an authorised user meeting the competency and training requirements of that PGD. Each healthcare professional using a PGD must also have signed a copy of that PGD and have one available to refer to. Staff must not download PGDs from the internet and use them straightaway. The PGDs are only on the internet so that the appropriate GP/clinical manager can access them when they need to authorise their team members, or to check that their team is using the most recent version. The GP/clinical manager should also have signed the appropriate section of the PGD before use. Page 1 of 11

5 1. Clinical condition or situation to which the direction applies: Indication Criteria for inclusion Criteria for exclusion Active immunisation against invasive cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Informed consent obtained and documented All girls aged 12 to 13 years (in school year 8), as a primary course of immunisation against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6,11,16 and 18 as per the Routine Childhood Immunisation Schedule Where a female in the target cohort (aged over 12 and less than 18 years) presents with an inadequate vaccination history, every effort should be made to clarify what doses they have had. A female (aged over 12 years and under 18 years) who has not completed the schedule should complete the vaccination course at the minimum interval where possible. Females coming to the UK from overseas may not have been offered protection against HPV in their country of origin and should be offered vaccination where appropriate. If a course has begun with Gardasil then the course should be completed with Gardasil. If a course has been started with Cervarix, the course should where possible be completed with Cervarix. In instances where this is not possible, or where the make of the initial vaccination is not known, then the vaccination course can be completed with Gardasil. There are very few individuals who cannot receive HPV vaccine. When there is doubt, appropriate advice should be sought from a GP, Paediatrician, Immunisation Co-ordinator or Consultant in Health Protection rather than withholding the vaccine. Cautions/Need for further advice from a doctor Consent refused and documented in the patient s medical notes Girls under the age of 12 years Girls who have commenced their HPV vaccination course with Cervarix (see above) Severe febrile illness - postpone. Minor infections without fever or systemic upset are not reasons to postpone immunisation A confirmed anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose of a HPV vaccine A confirmed anaphylactic reaction to any component of the vaccine Pregnancy Gardasil may be given at the same time as other vaccines, but at a different injection site, preferably different limbs. If given in the same limb, it should be given at least 2.5cm apart. Ideally, and where possible, the same vaccine should be used for the whole primary course as there is currently no Page 5 of 11
6 Action if excluded Action if patient declines treatment evidence on the interchangeability of the two HPV vaccine products. In patients with endogenous or iatrogenic immunosuppression including HIV, the HPV vaccine can be given but the response may be lower and further doses may be required seek advice from GP, Paediatrician, Immunisation Co-ordinator or Consultant in Health Protection. Where possible HPV vaccine should be administered at least 2 weeks before starting immunosuppressive treatment. Record in the patient s medical notes If medically unwell at the time of immunisation, advise as to when the vaccine may be given. Specialist advice (from GP, Paediatrician, Consultant in Health protection/immunisation Facilitator) must be sought on the vaccines and circumstances under which they should be given. The risk to the individual of not being immunised must be taken into account. Give advice about protective effects of the vaccine and the risks of infection and disease complications. Document advice given in the patient s medical notes. Inform or refer to GP as appropriate. 2. Description of Treatment Name, strength and Gardasil - human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) types 6, 11, formulation of drug 16 and 18 (recombinant, adjuvanted, adsorbed) bivalent suspension for injection - pre-filled 0.5ml syringe Legal status POM (prescription only medicine) Method / Route Shake gently; agitate immediately before use to obtain uniform suspension. Intramuscular injection (deltoid area of the upper arm is the recommended site) The deep subcutaneous route may be used for patients with thrombocytopenia or individuals at risk of haemorrhage Attach the needle by twisting in a clockwise direction until the needle fits securely on the syringe. If 2 needles of different lengths are provided in the pack, choose the appropriate needle to ensure an IM administration depending on your patient's size and weight. Gardasil must not be administered either intravascularly or intradermally. Dose / Dose range 0.5ml dose Frequency of Primary course of three doses given at 0, 1 to 2 months administration and 6 months The second dose should be administered one to two months after the first dose and the third dose at least 6 months after the first dose All 3 doses should be given within a 12 month period. If the course is interrupted, it should be resumed but not Page 6 of 11
7 repeated, ideally allowing the appropriate interval between the remaining doses. Duration Patient advice / Follow up treatment Adverse Reactions and their Management In cases where the second dose of HPV vaccine is given late, the minimum interval between the second and third dose of Gardasil is 3 months. See above Provide suitable printed Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) as supplied with the vaccine or available via Give advice on the management of post-immunisation pyrexia Give advice on possible side effects and their management sore arm is a normal reaction to the injection Inform patient where applicable when subsequent doses are due. Advise that vaccination is not a substitute for routine cervical screening Appropriate medical equipment and drugs for the treatment of an anaphylactic event to be available (see local anaphylaxis guidelines or the current edition of the British National Formulary (BNF) Local reaction at injection site see GP if severe (see product s Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC)) Consult GP if fever > 39.5 C, or other serious symptoms Very common ( 1/10) o Headache o At the injection site: erythema, pain, swelling o Common ( 1/100 to <1/10) o Pyrexia (fever over 38C) o At the injection site: hematoma, pruritis o Pain in extremity o Nausea Rare ( 1/10,000 to <1/1,000) o Urticaria Very rare (<1/10,000) o Bronchospasm Other adverse effect (unknown frequency of occurrence) o Injection-site cellulitis o Asthenia o Chills o Fatigue o Malaise o Arthralgia o Myalgia o Vomiting o Dizziness o Guillain-Barré syndrome o Syncope sometimes accompanied by tonic-clonic movements o Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Page 7 of 11
