SUA Statement regarding the role of HPV vaccination in men
We refer to the ST article dated 14 July 2024 titled “ Doctor group recommends HPV vaccination for men, to improve public health in S’pore”.
The Singapore Urological Association recognises the evolving evidence related to HPV vaccination and its benefit of reducing the development of selected HPV related cancers in men. However, we await the availability of level 1 evidence, that will guide the decision on the extent of benefit for routine HPV vaccination in men, and its effect on reducing the incidence of genital squamous cell cancers. As such, for men currently considering inoculation against HPV, we advise personal decision-making after a discussion with your doctor. At the same time, the Association advocates public adherence to the National Vaccination Programme recommended by the Ministry of Health.
