A reduction in two High Risk human papillomavirus types in sexually-active young women in England has been seen, following the introduction of a national immunization program. "The data provide reassurance that the high efficacy against HPV infection in women reported in clinical trials can be effectively realized in practice, and in a program achieving high coverage amongst young females. These data adds to our confidence that the HPV immunization program will achieve its aim of reducing cervical cancer," researchers concluded.
