HPV vaccine expanded free vaccination for men and women

₩200 billion for 5 years

Baek Jong-heon's bill budget estimation

NIP for children aged 11 to 12 is applied, an additional annual average of about 40 billion won is counted

It is estimated that about 200 billion won will be spent over the next five years to expand the national vaccination target of HPV vaccination to children aged 11 and 12 regardless of gender.

 

Assuming that the target vaccination rate is 89%-100%, an annual average budget of about 40 billion won is needed.

 

This is the result of Baek Jong-heon, a member of the National Assembly, entrusted with the cost estimation of some revisions to the Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act proposed by the National Assembly's Budget Office on the 4th.

 

Baek Jong-heon proposed a bill to expand the subject of HPV national vaccination (NIP) to children aged 11 and 12 regardless of gender.

 

As a result of the cost estimation by the Ministry of Budget and Policy, a total budget of 2015 billion won to 210.5 billion won will be needed depending on the target vaccination rate.

 

Specifically, the current HPV vaccine NIP is inoculating 12-year-old women.

 

Accordingly, in the first year of implementation of the amendment, the cost of inoculation for 11-year-old women was estimated, and from the second year of implementation, the cost of inoculation for women was excluded from the estimation.

 

The target vaccination rate was estimated by dividing it into two scenarios because the inoculation rate of 89.6% and 100% in 2020 were separately counted.

 

The vaccine cost was 62,200 won for HPV4 at the public health center, reflecting the average increase in the number of vaccines over the past three years (2019-2021).

 

As a result of the estimation, a total of 2015 to 210.5 billion won was estimated from 2022 to 2026 when HPV vaccinations were conducted for 11-year-old women and men aged 11 to 12 according to the revision of Baek Jong-heon.

 

In the case of scenario 1 with an 89.6% vaccination rate, a total of 201594 billion won will be required for five years from 2022 to 2026, including 79.242 billion won in 2022 and 30.736 billion won in 2026.

 

When the inoculation rate was estimated to be 100% scenario 2, it was estimated to be 210.512 billion won for five years from 2022 to 2026, including 88.439 billion won in 2022 and 30.787 billion won in 2026.
