Vaccinations for school girls in years 12 and 13 were suspended earlier this week after a 14-year-old girl in the UK died hours after being given the HPV vaccine.

But Jersey’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr Rosemary Geller, said that the vaccination programme would now be restarted.

Catch-up sessions will take place today at various schools across the Island which have missed out on the jabs so far. Pupils at Les Quennevais School will be vaccinated tomorrow.
