"Results of the first randomized controlled trial of single-dose HPV vaccine, published in Lancet Global Health in March 2024, showed greater than 97% efficacy against the HPV16 and HPV18 strains at 36 months among women in Kenya."
Imagine virtually ending cervical cancer.

Now that the World Health Organization has endorsed a one-dose vaccine, global health groups are amping up their effort to inoculate the world's girls. How are they doing?
Whatever happened to ... the global effort to wipe out cervical cancer with a vaccine?
