Outcomes for girls without HPV vaccination in Japan

[...]according to figure A, in the event that encouragement is not resumed until 2020, girls born between 2000 and 2003 will have a noticeably high HPV 16/18 positive rate compared with female children born in other years. [...]even including girls aged 12-16 during encouragement suspension in addition to girls aged 12-16 at the time of vaccination encouragement resumption as a tentative relief measure, if recommendation is not resumed until 2020, some girls might have had sexual intercourse by that time, increasing the HPV infection rate compared with that when resuming vaccination encouragement in 2016 (figure B).
