a

VE was corrected for: ethnicity, education level, recent sex partners, age at sexual debut, history of sexually transmitted infections, hormonal contraceptives use, and age vaccination was offered.

b

Including HPV types HPV-16/18/31/33/45/52/58.

c

Including HPV types HPV-16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59.

d

Includes women who reported the same age (in years) of sexual debut as the age they were offered vaccination.
