HPV is a common virus and vaccination against it reduces one’s chance of a severe infection, HPB said on its website. The system is helmed by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) and OGP. The inclusion of the vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV) adds to a list of subsidised vaccines, including influenza and pneumococcal jabs, that can be booked under the appointment system. These vaccines are recommended to protect Singaporeans against diseases like tuberculosis and hepatitis B. The updated service streamlines the process of booking an appointment to get a listed vaccine so that it can be done online with all providers listed clearly. The e-appointment system, which was repurposed from the Covid-19 vaccination system and rolled out in August 2022, will allow booking for all vaccinations under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule by April, and those under the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule by June. Meanwhile, Singaporeans will be able to make a booking for any nationally recommended vaccine online on the Health Appointment System, which will soon be expanded, said Mrs Teo.
