The Philippine Infectious Diseases Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology has called on the Department of Health to integrate the 9-valent human papillomavirus vaccine into the Philippine National Immunization Program. The recommendation follows an analysis of local epidemiological data on HPV-related cancers, particularly cervical cancer, which remains a significant health challenge in the country.
Approved by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration in 2017, the 9-valent HPV vaccine is widely available in private medical practice and is pre-qualified by the World Health Organization , ensuring its safety and efficacy. Research from countries like Japan demonstrates that the vaccine can achieve earlier and more substantial reductions in cervical cancer incidence than previous versions. Recently, Thailand also updated its national immunization program to include the 9-valent vaccine.
