Can I get the HPV vaccination and any other vaccination at the same time?
If you have recently received the COVID-19 vaccine (e.g. in the last 14 days), you can still receive the HPV vaccine. An interval of at least 14 days before or after the COVID-19 vaccine is encouraged, but is not strictly necessary. Please consult your doctor for the latest guidelines.

Hi, I just realised that the clinic I went for the HPV2 vaccine is no longer a TF-SCS Partner. I’ve 2 more does to complete. Do I continue to go to the same clinic for the subsequent appointment by calling them or choose another clinic by booking on the Health Appointment System that is TF-SCS Partner?
You can book your appointments for dose 2 and 3 at another TF-SCS clinic to benefit from the applicable subsidies. Do inform the doctor at the second clinic during your appointment so that they can refer to your vaccination record.
Do remember to bring your NRIC and CHAS card for the appointment as well.

Can I take the HPV vaccine if I am aged 27 or older?
If you are above 27 years old and wish to receive the HPV vaccination, you are advised to speak to your doctor to find out if it may benefit you. There are HPV vaccines licensed for use up to the age of 45 years old. Please note you are not eligible for subsidies and MediSave may not be used to cover the out-of-pocket costs of HPV vaccinations.

Can I take the hpv vaccine at a different clinic for my second and third doses and receive the subsidies?
For Singapore citizen females aged 18 – 26 years, the subsidised price fee cap of HPV2 vaccination at CHAS clinics is applicable as long as the first dose is taken between your 18th birthday and before your 27th birthday.

This means that the second and third HPV2 dose (Cervarix) will be subsidised as long as they are taken at a CHAS GP clinic. Do notify the doctor at the newer clinic so that they can refer to your vaccination record.

HPV2 Vs A-HPV
For females who are 15 years old and above at the time of the first dose, a total of 3 doses are recommended. Your doses may be reflected as A-HPV in your vaccination record.

There is no need to take another dose if you have completed the course of vaccination.

If I have taken the HPV vaccine 8 years ago, do I still need to take Gardisil 9?
Gardasil 9 is one of the two HPV vaccines available in Singapore. There is no need to take another dose of the HPV vaccine if you have already completed the vaccination course.

I received sms told me CHAS only can apply Cervarix but not Gardisil 4/9 May I know if I’m going polyclinic does it means I can choose the others?
The two vaccines currently offered in Singapore are HPV2 (Cervarix) and Gardasil 9. However, subsidies are only applicable to the HPV2 (Cervarix) vaccine - this applies to both CHAS GP and Polyclinics.

If you wish to take the Gardasil 9 vaccine at a CHAS GP or Polyclinic, please enquire on the expected cost before proceeding. Gardasil 4 has been discontinued, however some clinics that still have Gardasil 4 may continue to offer them at an unsubsidised rate.

I’ve previously received the Gardisil 9 injection around 4 years ago. Do i still need to receive the HPV2 vaccine?
If you have already completed the HPV vaccination course, there is no need to go for the HPV2 (Cervarix) dose.

For females who are 15 years old and above at the time of the first dose, a total of 3 doses are recommended. The second dose may be given between 1 and 2.5 months after the first dose, followed by the third dose between 5 and 12 months after the first dose.

For females who are 9 – 14 at the time of the first dose, a total of 2 doses are recommended. The second dose may be given 5 – 13 months after the first dose.

I took hpv vaccine before but i was invited to take another hpv vaccine. How do i know whether the one i took before is the same as the one im invited to?
Singaporeans who are born in 1996 or later are able to access their vaccination records via HealthHub with their Singpass.

Those who are born earlier (i.e. before 1996) are also able to access their vaccination records via HealthHub. However, records are only available for vaccinations under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), which were given on or after 1 Nov 2017, and notified accordingly.

To view your immunisation records in HealthHub, login and click on Services > Health Records > Immunisation Records > Nationally Recommended.

For females who are 15 years old and above at the time of the first dose, a total of 3 doses are recommended. The second dose may be given between 1 and 2.5 months after the first dose, followed by the third dose between 5 and 12 months after the first dose.

For females who are 9 – 14 at the time of the first dose, a total of 2 doses are recommended. The second dose may be given 5 – 13 months after the first dose.
Your doses may be reflected as A-HPV in your vaccination record.

If you have already completed the vaccination course, there is no need to go for another dose again.

I received a msg from MOH and provided me subsidies for HPV vaccine, after getting injection, the clinic said I am not entitled it and this is not entitled for PR. Eventually I paid all from my Medisave, why?
SMS invitations for HPV vaccination were sent out to all eligible members of the public within the specified gender and age range, and is not indicative of subsidy eligibility.
Criteria for subsidies is listed on the landing page (book.health.gov.sg/hpv) in the information section (Who is eligible for subsidies for HPV2 vaccination and How much will it cost?) for reference.

"Permanent Resident (PR) females aged 9 – 26 years are eligible for government subsidies only at polyclinics."

CHAS GP Clinics
"PR females aged 9 – 26 years may receive the HPV2 vaccination at CHAS GP clinics, but it is not subsidised. The vaccination costs for HPV2 may be fully paid by MediSave. Please check with the CHAS GP clinic directly on the cost of vaccination."

Polyclinics
"SC and PR females aged 18 – 26 years may receive the subsidised HPV2 vaccination at polyclinics and may use MediSave to pay the out-of-pocket payment. The subsidy is based on individual means testing. Please check with the polyclinic directly on the cost of vaccination."
