Clinical studies have indicated that when the vaccination is administered at an early age, high antibody levels can be achieved. The vaccine protection rate also increases if it is administered before the first sexual contact. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, prophylactic HPV vaccinations for boys have been included into their national immunisation programmes, this is not the case in Hong Kong.
For the 2025/2026 school year, Karen Leung Foundation continues expanding its HPV education and vaccination program to reach students in private schools. Vaccinating boys early offers the strongest protection against HPV- related diseases in men and helps prevent the spread of infection across the wider community.
Our program goes beyond just education and immunization—we’re empowering students to become HPV advocates and share life-saving knowledge with their communities.
