First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving the HPV vaccine on a different schedule (a first shot now and a booster later) works well in healthy 9-11 year-old girls and boys. The goal is to see if the body still makes enough antibodies to protect against HPV, a virus that can cause certain cancers later in life. About 200 children are taking part.
