IVI launches global study to determine the burden of HPV among girls and women

Will a single dose of HPV vaccine prevent cervical cancer?

New review of evidence on a single-dose HPV vaccination schedule is published by PATH-led consortium. A single-dose HPV vaccination schedule could alleviate financial and logistical barriers, accelerate HPV vaccine introduction into national immunization schedules, and achieve higher coverage in current country programs.

One target of the strategy is for all countries to fully vaccinate 90% of girls with HPV vaccine by age 15 by the year 2030. Currently, just over 20 low- and lower-middle income countries deliver HPV vaccine as part of their national immunization program and women in these countries bear a disproportionately large cervical cancer burden.
