Is HPV vaccination compulsory?

It is not compulsory in Singapore, but it is highly recommended for females to protect themselves against cervical cancer. HPV vaccination is included in the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) and National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) for the target population of females aged 9 to 26.

Males are not included in the above schedules, although the vaccines are licensed for use and available to males who wish to be protected from HPV.
