Summary
This study tests whether just one dose of the HPV vaccine can protect young women aged 18-30 from cervical cancer. Researchers in Costa Rica are giving 5,000 women either a single HPV shot or a placebo to see if it reduces persistent HPV infections, which can lead to cancer. If successful, a single-dose schedule could make prevention easier and more accessible worldwide.
