^aBased on [12], class-based is for class-year 6, age-based is for girls born in 1998.

^bBased on [22], class-based is for class-year 4, which is a potential target group for the national human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program [8]. Age-based is for 10-year-old girls, which is the age group most closely corresponding to class 4.

The number of fully-immunized girls assumes coverage rates as found in the Mwanza HPV Vaccination project for the class-based and age-based arms, respectively. The two Mwanza City districts are urban, the six other districts of Mwanza Region are rural.
