a The unit of analysis was the infection.

b Number of new infections and cleared infections for each group and HPV genotype are included in Supplementary Table 2.

c HPV genotypes shown are those in the 9-valent vaccine and those with any incidence rate >2.2/1000 person-months. Types 62, 66, and 89 are not shown because of unstable point estimates for ≥1 city.
