Med. 2022 Jan 14;3(1):3-5. doi: 10.1016/j.medj.2021.12.007.

Abstract

HPV vaccination has been routinely recommended in the US since 2006. A new article from Falcaro et al.1 adds to the growing body of evidence to demonstrate HPV vaccination prevents cancer. These results are timely and important as public health professionals globally seek to mitigate the effects of vaccination hesitancy and build confidence in vaccinations.
