Ecological validity of cost-effectiveness models of universal HPV vaccination: A systematic literature review

Highlights • Protective effect of herd immunity allows the selective HPV immunisation of girls. • Models lack of ecological validity, not adequately reflecting sexual preferences. • Selective immunisation is unlikely to achieve the expected level of herd immunity. • Marginally lower herd immunity wo...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Protective effect of herd immunity allows the selective HPV immunisation of girls. • Models lack of ecological validity, not adequately reflecting sexual preferences. • Selective immunisation is unlikely to achieve the expected level of herd immunity. • Marginally lower herd immunity would make universal vaccination cost-effective. • Population’s features and sexual preferences should inform HPV vaccination models.
