My daughter has a PID and is due to have the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine. Is there any problem with her having this immunisation?

All girls aged 12 to 13 are offered HPV vaccination as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The vaccine protects against cervical cancer. It’s usually given to girls in year eight at schools in England. 

The vaccines available are recombinant protein vaccines – virus-like particles, with no live virus potential so they are safe for girls who have a PID.
