Vaccination Services

Influenza (flu) is an acute respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus. Receiving the seasonal influenza vaccine is an effective way to prevent seasonal flu and its complications, and can also reduce hospitalizations and deaths related to influenza. The peak flu seasons in Hong Kong are generally from October to March and July to August. For individuals with weaker immune systems and the elderly, getting the flu can lead to more severe illness and complications such as bronchitis, pneumonia, encephalopathy, and in severe cases, death. Due to the vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing influenza and its complications, all citizens, except those with known contraindications, should receive the seasonal flu vaccine annually to protect personal health.

HK$260 per injection (applicable for individuals not covered by vaccination subsidy schemes)

To encourage influenza vaccination, our clinic offers free seasonal flu vaccinations to the following eligible groups:

Eligible persons for the vaccination subsidy program include:

• Pregnant women
• Individuals aged 50 or above

Pneumococcal bacteria are common in the respiratory tract, and even healthy individuals can carry the bacteria. Pneumococcus can be transmitted through droplets or oral contact. Children under five and seniors aged 65 and above are at higher risk of severe illness. Pneumococcus generally causes sinusitis and otitis media, but it can also lead to serious diseases such as pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. Vaccination with the pneumococcal vaccine is one of the most effective ways to prevent pneumococcal diseases.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (also known as pneumococcus) can cause various invasive diseases, including bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, arthritis, osteomyelitis, pericarditis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and peritonitis. Among invasive pneumococcal diseases, serotype 3 is the most common in Hong Kong and poses the greatest health threat.

The “Pneumococcal Vaccination Program” implemented by the government provides free or subsidized pneumococcal vaccines for eligible seniors aged 65 or above. Individuals without high-risk conditions can receive a single dose of the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine. Those with high-risk conditions can first receive a dose of the 15-valent pneumococcal vaccine, and after one year, receive a dose of the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine.

15-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Vaxneuvance): HK$1,400
20-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Prevenar 20): HK$1,800
23-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumococcal 23-Valent): HK$500

Eligible individuals under the vaccination subsidy scheme (Hong Kong residents aged 65 or above who have not previously received pneumococcal vaccines) can have the subsidized cost covered by medical vouchers.

15-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Vaxneuvance): Post-subsidy cost is HK$600
23-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumococcal 23-Valent): HK$100

*Vaccine charges include a consultation with a doctor to understand the vaccination.

The cervical cancer vaccine (also known as HPV vaccine) is a preventive vaccine designed to protect against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially types 16 and 18, which are associated with over 90% of cervical cancers. Besides preventing cervical cancer, the HPV vaccine can also prevent other cancers and diseases caused by HPV infection, such as anal, vaginal, vulvar, oropharyngeal, and head and neck cancers.

The 9-valent vaccine protects against HPV types 16, 18, 6, 11, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.

The optimal vaccination age is between 9 and 26 years old; the earlier the vaccination, the better the protection. Both males and females can receive the vaccine to prevent related infections.

*It is recommended that the vaccination be completed within six months to one year.
*Vaccine charges include a consultation with a doctor to understand the vaccination.

Everyone has a chance of getting shingles. Shingles is caused by the “Varicella Zoster Virus” (VZV). After recovering from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the body’s nerves. When the immune system weakens, the virus can reactivate along nerve pathways, leading to shingles. Studies indicate that about one-third of people worldwide will experience shingles at least once in their lifetime, and the risk increases after age 50. The following groups are at high risk for shingles:

• People over 50 years old
• Individuals who have had chickenpox
• People with weakened immune systems
• Those under stress or with poor sleep
• Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, lupus, or cancer

The most effective way to prevent shingles is to receive the shingles vaccine early, which can also reduce the pain associated with the condition. The four main benefits of the shingles vaccine are:

• Prevention of shingles
• Reduced risk of recurrence
• Prevention of postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles)
• Prevention of acute and long-term pain caused by shingles

Two doses, spaced 2 to 6 months apart

HK$5,000 for 2 doses

The combined Hepatitis A and B vaccine protects against both viruses by stimulating the production of antibodies for each. Hepatitis A is a serious liver disease that can lead to liver failure and death, though such outcomes are rare, especially in older adults and those with pre-existing liver conditions. Hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It can be a mild illness lasting weeks or a severe lifelong condition. The virus spreads through contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids.

When receiving the first dose, you must present recent (within 3 months) hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test results to determine if vaccination is appropriate.

1st dose: Day 0
2nd dose: One month after the 1st dose (1 month)
3rd dose: Six months after the 1st dose (6 months)

HK$3,750 for 3 doses

The hepatitis B vaccine prevents infection with the hepatitis B virus through a three-dose series, building immunity to protect the body. About 90-95% of people develop protective antibodies after three doses, which are lifelong.

When receiving the first dose, you must present recent (within 3 months) hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test results to determine if vaccination is suitable.

1st dose: Day 0
2nd dose: One month after the 1st dose (1 month)
3rd dose: Six months after the 1st dose (6 months)

HK$1,650 for 3 doses
