Mumps, MR, influenza and male HPV vaccines fully subsidized
- The age covered differs by vaccine
- Influenza until January 31, 2027
When children living in Shibuya City receive voluntary vaccines (other than routine vaccinations), the city fully subsidizes the cost. Covered are mumps (ages 1–3, 1 dose), MR for those who missed the routine vaccination (ages 2–18, for the number of doses missed, up to 2), influenza (6 months of age to 3rd year of junior high school), and the HPV vaccine for males (from the first day of the fiscal year in which they turn 12 to the last day of the fiscal year in which they turn 16, equivalent to 6th grade of elementary school to the 1st year of high school). For male HPV, Silgard 9 (9-valent vaccine) was added from April 1, 2026, and you can choose between 2 types including Gardasil (4-valent). If the first dose is given before age 15, it can also be completed with 2 doses. For influenza, the live attenuated nasal vaccine (FluMist nasal spray) was also added to the subsidy from FY2025. The inactivated vaccine is 2 doses for 6 months to 12 years and 1 dose for 13 years to the 3rd year of junior high school, and FluMist is 1 dose for age 2 to the 3rd year of junior high school. The FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027) vaccination period is September 24, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and the FluMist subsidy is until January 22, 2027.
