摘要:THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO ASSESS THE DATA CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN LITERATURE REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS AND HARMS OF HPV VACCINATION PROGRAMMES. THERE ARE NOW MORE THAN FIFTEEN COUNTRIES WHICH HAVE DATA REGARDING VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS AND SHOW FALLS IN TARGETED TYPES FOLLOWING VACCINATION. THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE FDA- APPROVED MULTIVALENT PROHYLACTIC HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINES AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS RIGUROUS PROOF OF THE NEED FOR IMPLEMENTING VACCINATION NATIONAL SCHEDULES, CONCERNS REGARDING THEIR SAFETY CONTINUE TO EMERGE.
