Single #HPV vaccine dose matches protection of 2-dose regimen, new trial shows
The vaccine was 97% effective, and protection did not wane during the follow-up period.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
