Predicting optimal impact interventions in the post‐HPV vaccination world

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 9, Page 2262-2271, 1 May 2026.
Abstract Prophylactic vaccination is a powerful tool that changes exposure to infections and associated morbidity of preventable diseases. We discuss the impact of pneumococci and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on the population biology of the two micro‐organisms and related public health effects.
