Human Papillomavirus Vaccines: Who Should Get Them and Why?

  • Conference paper
Hot Topics in Infection and Immunity in Children IV

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 609))

In 2006, the first of two vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention was approved for use in several countries. This has prompted great attention to be paid to HPV infections and their consequences. As the genital HPV types are acquired sexually, acceptability to the public of a vaccine to prevent a sexually transmitted infection (STI) will be an important issue in ensuring good uptake of the vaccine by those who would most benefit.
