The Government has launched a one-off catch-up vaccination programme by phases starting from December 2, 2024, for female Hong Kong residents who were born in 2004 or after, and have not been covered by the HKCIP (i.e. girls aged 18 or below as in 2022, and not being covered by existing programme) to receive a free HPV vaccination.

Each of the eligible persons can receive two doses of vaccination, while immunocompromised persons have to receive three doses of vaccination (all three doses are free of charge).

The programme would be implemented in three phases and last for about two years.

First Phase - Arrangement for Secondary Schools

The first phase of the Programme commenced on 2 December 2024.

Targeted recipients are eligible full-time female students studying in Hong Kong secondary schools (including secondary sections of special schools). Schools would engage participating outreach private vaccination teams to provide free HPV vaccination service to eligible female students at schools. For more information about the arrangement of HPV vaccination at secondary schools, please contact your schools for details.
