Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) has shifted from a multiple-dose human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine schedule to a one-dose schedule prioritizing females aged 9-14 y. Given the burden of HPV-associated disease aside from cervical cancer and affecting both sexes, a shift toward emphasizing gender-neutral HPV vaccination strategies may improve vaccination coverage and more comprehensively address HPV-driven disease across both sexes, particularly for low- and middle-income countries.

期刊介绍： (formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619) Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
