Is the HPV vaccine dose changing for people who have a weakened immune system or who are HIV-positive?

People with a weakened immune system or HIV do not respond to vaccination in the same way. There isn’t currently enough evidence to show that vaccinating people who are immunosuppressed or HIV-positive with less than three doses will give them enough protection against HPV. So until more evidence is available, the NHS will continue to offer these people three doses of HPV vaccine.
