Switch every country to single-dose HPV vaccination and add catch-up to age 26
One dose of HPV vaccine protects as well as two or three. Halving the doses frees supply to vaccinate far more girls, boys and young adults.
KEN SHE and other trials show single-dose efficacy and WHO recommends one- or two-dose schedules, yet many countries retain two doses. Propose a coordinated switch with freed supply directed to gender-neutral and catch-up vaccination to age 26, measured by coverage and HPV16/18 prevalence.

- Most of the world has almost no cancer care · Seven in ten cancer deaths happen in low- and middle-income countries, where radiotherapy, pathology, surgery and drugs are scarce.
