title: Sound efficacy of prophylactic HPV vaccination: Basics and implications.
abstract: Prophylactic human papillomavirus vaccine efficacy is almost too good to be true. The benefits of herd immunity will, however, not be gained without high vaccine coverage. Here the authors of two recent papers on HPV16/18 vaccine efficacy elaborate on the basics and implications of this approach for infection and cancer prevention.
