AIHW - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Immunisation Rates - Boys Fully Immunised (%) (SA4) 2014-2016

Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of boys who were fully immunised against human papillomavirus (HPV). The data spans the financial years 2014-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) geographic boundaries from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection. It is estimated that more than four out of five people will have an HPV infection at some point in their lives. Although often asymptomatic, HPV infection can cause a wide range of cancers, including cervical cancer, and other conditions such as genital warts. The Australian Government introduced the school-based National HPV Vaccination Program in 2007 for adolescent girls, and extended it to include boys in January 2013. The data were sourced from the National HPV Vaccination Program Register (HPV Register), which is operated by the Victorian Cytology Service. The HPV Register records information about HPV vaccine doses administered under the National HPV Vaccination Program in Australia. The data reported are for girls and boys aged 15 who had received three doses of HPV vaccine by 30 June 2016 (as at 12 August 2017). The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Estimated Resident Population (ERP) for females and males aged 13 at 30 June 2014 was used for the denominator, as this reflects the eligible population at the time most vaccinations were administered.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

  • These data include boys aged 15 who had received three doses of HPV vaccine by 30 June 2015 and 2016. Any doses administered after that date are not included and therefore the current coverage in this cohort may be higher than reported here. Only vaccinations reported to the National HPV Vaccination Program Register (HPV Register) are included.

  • Boys whose courses are considered to be incomplete according to the Chief Medical Officer guidelines and boys who do not wish their details to be recorded on the HPV Register are excluded.
