HPV Prevalence Among Inuit Women in Northern Quebec, Canada: A Pre- and Post-Vaccination Analysis

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine on high-risk HPV prevalence among Inuit women in Nunavik, Canada, comparing data from before and after the vaccine's introduction in 2008. Their findings revealed an overall increase in high-risk HPV prevalence post-vaccination, particularly among women aged 40 and older, while HPV 16/18 prevalence decreased in the younger vaccinated group. The study highlights the need for ongoing surveillance of non-vaccine high-risk HPV types despite the observed benefits in the targeted age group.
