HPV Vaccination Singapore

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a preventive measure that helps protect against certain strains of HPV linked to cervical cancer, other HPV-related cancers, and genital warts. By reducing the risk of infection, it plays a central role in safeguarding long-term reproductive health.

As part of our broader medical group, HPV vaccination is available through our affiliated clinics, Motherlove, Motherlove GP, and our gynaecology specialist clinic. Vaccinations are provided in a private and supportive setting, guided by trained professionals to ensure safe, medically appropriate care.

Proactive Protection Against High-Risk HPV Strains

What is HPV Vaccination?

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect against infection by certain strains of the virus associated with cervical, vulvar, vaginal, anal, penile cancers, and genital warts.

Gardasil 9, the vaccine used at our affiliated clinics within the medical group, protects against nine high-risk and wart-causing HPV types, including HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. It is approved for both females and males, and offers the greatest benefit when administered before the onset of sexual activity—but is still valuable for sexually active individuals.
