This make vaccination program logistically more complex, more expensive, and less resilient WHO study shows o nly 13% received 2 nd dose in adolescent category .
WHO-SAGE recommended HPV vaccine dose schedules (2022) One or two-dose schedule for the primary target of girls and boys aged 9-14 One or two-dose schedule for young adolescent women and men aged 15-20 Two doses with a 6-month interval for women and men older than 21 . Immunocompromised individuals, including those with HIV , should receive three doses if feasible, and if not at least two doses .
Evidence for Single-Dose HPV Vaccination Strong growing evidence that an effect similar to 3- and 2- doses could be achieved with single-dose of HPV vaccination. Results from cohort studies: the IARC India trial with a quadrivalent vaccine , and the Costa Rica Trial with a bivalent vaccine , have shown comparable efficacy between single-dose and multi-dose schedules, with sustained antibody levels for at least 11 years after vaccination. Recent evidence from randomized single-dose vaccine trials, such as the KEN SHE and DoRIS trials in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Need Political Will to give extensive coverage of HPV vaccine to adolescent Girls Failure to do so is an injustice to the generation of girls and young women who may be at risk of cervical cancer.” says WHO – Deputy Director
IARC projected the health benefits and potential economic impact of a national single-dose HPV vaccination programme for girls in India The study found that such a vaccination programme could substantially reduce the incidence of cervical cancer, to below the incidence rate established by WHO as the threshold for the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem
3 doses for all Immunocompromised individuals, including those with HIV
