Summary

This study tests whether a single dose of the HPV vaccine can protect young women aged 18-30 from cervical cancer. Researchers in Costa Rica are giving 5,000 participants either one dose of an HPV vaccine or a placebo to see if one shot is as effective as the standard two or three doses. If successful, this could make cervical cancer prevention easier and more accessible worldwide.
