It's such a good vaccine. Prevents #cervicalcancer (along with a range of other benefits, like reductions in oral and skin HPV infections, genital warts etc)/
Like every other routine #immunization, need to increase uptake, increase access, better understand hesitancy, better counter the #antivax lies and misinformation that is sadly prevalent.
WHO updates recommendations on HPV vaccination schedule
In a new position paper published last week, WHO has updated its recommendations for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Of particular note, the paper states that a single-dose schedule, referred to as an alternative, off-label single–dose schedule can provide a comparable efficacy and durability of protection to a two-dose regimen.
