Summary
This large study tests whether a single dose of the HPV vaccine works as well as the standard two doses to prevent HPV infection, which causes most cervical cancers. About 28,000 girls aged 12–16 in Costa Rica are taking part. If one dose is effective, it could make vaccination cheaper and easier, especially in countries with high cervical cancer rates.
