First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether combining school education, doctor training, and offering the vaccine at school can increase HPV vaccination among French adolescents aged 11 to 14. Over 30,000 teens from 90 towns took part. The goal was to see if these efforts make more teens get the HPV vaccine, which helps prevent certain cancers.
