Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus Genotypes in Unvaccinated 16- to 20-Year-Old Men in Quebec, Canada
The low 4vHPV-targeted genotype prevalence (<1%) among unvaccinated men of the same age as women vaccinated with 4vHPV suggests a strong herd immunity among young adults in Quebec. Evaluation of schedule changes will have to take this finding into account. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04297670.
