Gray area indicates the range of the CIs from the published studies for effectiveness of 3 doses among girls aged 18 or younger when vaccinated.

aRisk ratio includes different measures depending on study, including incidence rate ratio, prevalence ratio, risk ratio, odds ratio or hazard ratio; for Widdice 2019 and Sonawane 2019, risk ratio was estimated from the prevalence of HPV infection among the different dose groups presented in the article, but the authors did not formally assess the effectiveness of 1,2,3 doses compared to 0 dose.

bAge at vaccination ≤18 years of age varied by study; for Markowitz 2020, ≤18 years; for Batmunkh 2020, age 11–17 years; for Kavanagh 2014, estimates from an analysis adjusted for birth cohort and there were few individuals vaccinated at age >18 years; for Cushieri 2016, estimates from an analysis adjusted by birth cohort and there were few individuals vaccinated at age >18 years; for Kavanagh 2017 estimates from an analysis adjusted for birth cohort and there were few individuals vaccinated at age >18 years.
