Regarding the Notification from Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) — Suspension of the batch tracker function on the packaging of Gardasil 9 vaccine
2026.1.14

In view of the recent formal notification received from Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Limited, Human Health Medical hereby issues the following important notice to the general public and our clients.

 

Due to MSD's decision to suspend, starting from January 2026, the eZTracker source tracking service provided via the QR code on the packaging box of Gardasil 9 vaccine (commonly known as the "HPV vaccine" or "9-valent vaccine"), the QR codes on the packaging of existing inventory vaccines will all become invalid. When members of the public scan the QR code with their mobile phones, a message such as "Service Terminated" or a similar prompt will be displayed.

 

This adjustment is completely unrelated to the quality, safety, or efficacy of the vaccine itself. There have been no changes to the vaccine product or any quality issues. At present, MSD has not yet announced specific details regarding new packaging or alternative solutions.

 

As one of the largest listed medical groups in Hong Kong and an officially recognized partner of MSD in Hong Kong, Human Health Medical procures all Gardasil 9 vaccines directly through MSD Hong Kong or its authorized legitimate channels, fully complying with local Hong Kong medical regulations and storage and distribution requirements. All vaccines administered at our medical centers are provided by professional healthcare personnel in accordance with standard procedures, and members of the public can receive them with confidence.

 

In response to this matter, our group has immediately activated internal monitoring procedures for follow-up and will continue to closely monitor MSD's subsequent arrangements. If the public has any questions regarding this adjustment, you are welcome to contact us at any time or reach out directly to MSD Hong Kong's customer service hotline: 3971 2800.

 

Human Health Medical sincerely thanks the public for your long-standing trust and support. We pledge to continue providing safe and reliable medical services to the community at the highest standards.
