Abstract

It is well-established that immunocompromised people are at increased risk of HPV-related disease compared with those who are immunocompetent. Prophylactic HPV sub-unit vaccines are safe and immunogenic in immunocompromised people and it is strongly recommended that vaccination occur according to national guidelines. When delivered to immunocompromised populations, HPV vaccines should be given as a 3-dose regimen.

Keywords: HPV Guidelines; HPV related cancers; Human papillomavirus (HPV); Immunocompromised hosts; Vaccination.
