Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a challenge worldwide, especially in middle- and low-
resource countries. HPV vaccination is one of the most important weapons included

in the WHO's goals for 2030. The need to use a single dose is increasingly accepted
in various national programs. The comparison of one, two, and three doses of HPV
vaccines is very important to understand the changes occurring in the national
policies of different countries. In Peru, the national vaccination program uses a single
dose of the tetravalent vaccine from 9-18 years of age, gender-neutral.
