HPV vaccine for males

Males are eligible for the HPV vaccine in the same way females are. 

HPV vaccines in men help to protect against high-risk strains that may cause neck or throat cancers. They also help to prevent infecting sexual partners. 

HPV vaccines given to males and females helps to create herd immunity against HPV infection. 

However please note that in Singapore the National Childhood Immunization Schedule (NCIS) only includes HPV vaccination for females. 

Please speak to your doctor about seeking the HPV vaccine for males.
