Background. Immune response to quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivered at 0, 2, and 6
months in young adolescent females plateaus around 24 months after immunization. Antibody levels >24 months
Figure 1. Study schedule, cluster-randomized trial and follow-up study of alternative dosing schedules, quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine, adolescent girls aged 11–13 years, Vietnam.
Figure 2. Trial of alternative schedules of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in young adolescent girls, follow-up at 29–32 months,
Vietnam. *Completed all original trial study procedures and adapted from Neuzil KM, et al JAMA 2011 (see reference [16]). †Girls recruited from 2 schools
in the original trial were ineligible for the follow-up study as the receipt of the third dose of HPV vaccine was >32 months from the start of the follow-up
study.
