Abstract

In Denmark, the proportion of children completing the HPV vaccination program is lower than for other vaccines, and the relatively low uptake is believed to be influenced by a media debate on suspected side effects of HPV vaccination. Based on a systematic PubMed search, this review identified 14 Danish studies that compared symptoms or disease incidence among HPV-vaccinated individuals with the incidence in a control group. Most studies showed no association between HPV vaccination and subsequent illness.
