From Tuesday, those newly eligible can register to get the vaccine at hpv.ie
The availability of a vaccine to protect against certain forms of cancer is being widened to include men up to their 22nd birthday.
Since its launch last year, the Laura Brennan HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine Catch-Up Programme has offered free HPV vaccines to all boys and girls in second-level education who were previously eligible to receive the vaccine in school and who had not yet received it.
From Tuesday, those newly eligible can register to get the vaccine at hpv.ie until 31 December.
It is also open to women up to the age of 25 who have left secondary school and did not previously receive the vaccine.
The Health Minister is being urged to offer the free HPV vaccine to men and women of all ages.
Kim Hanly from Cervical Cancer Awareness Ireland says the extension is welcomed - but must go further:
