The opening hours of the HPV injection locations for young adults in Alphen aan den Rijn, Gouda and Leiden (ECC location) have been extended. These locations are now open Tuesday through Saturday, instead of just Saturday. In addition, Hecht GGD Hollands will open two additional HPV injection locations at the college and university in Leiden on December 7. Non-students are also welcome. Are you between 19 and 27 years old and do you want the free HPV vaccination? Then it is important to get an HPV vaccination in 2023. The last opportunity to get the shot this year in the Hollands Midden region is on Saturday, December 23. In 2024, there will be far fewer HPV injection locations open.
For long-term protection against the HPV virus, two injections are required, with at least five months apart. Will you get the first HPV shot after 2023? Then – because of the five-month interval – you can only receive the second injection after June 1, 2024 and you have to pay for it yourself. Because HPV vaccination will no longer be free for young adults from June 1, 2024. Did you have your first injection at least five months ago? Then it is best to get the second injection in 2023. From January to June 1, 2024, the HPV vaccination will be available in far fewer places and less often than this year. There is a good chance that you will have to travel further for your HPV injection.
Extra stimulation
Young adults can go to no fewer than eleven injection locations for a free HPV injection in the coming month. Without an appointment, easy and close by. Hecht GGD Hollands Midden hopes that this will further encourage young people to come for an HPV vaccination this year.
HPV injection locations for young adults
You can walk in without an appointment at the locations below. Only come for your second injection after you have received a reminder. You will receive this via text message or email five months after the first injection. And don’t forget your ID, because without an ID you can’t get a shot. Opening hours may change.

About HPV and the vaccination
HPV is highly contagious; Eight out of ten people become unknowingly infected with HPV during their lives through intimate contact. The virus can cause cancer of the mouth and throat, penis, anus, vagina, labia and cervix later in life. HPV vaccination protects against these six types of cancer, even if you are already sexually active. The effectiveness of the HPV vaccine is continuously investigated and no lasting side effects have been found. For more information or help in making a choice there is www.hpvkeuzehulp.nl.
