Summary

This study tests whether a single dose of the HPV vaccine can protect Tanzanian girls aged 9-14 from cervical cancer just as well as the standard two or three doses. Around 900 girls will receive one, two, or three doses of either a bivalent or 9-valent HPV vaccine and be followed for up to 9 years. If one dose works, it could halve vaccination costs and make it easier to reach more girls in Africa.
