Incidence of anogenital warts after the introduction of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine program in Manitoba, Canada

CONCLUSIONS: The publicly funded school-based qHPV vaccine program reduced AGW incidence in Manitoba by three-quarters in young females. AGW-related prescriptions are a poor proxy for medically attended AGW after the introduction of the publicly funded qHPV vaccination program. Different sexual habits in adolescents are, at most, responsible for a small portion of the reduction in AGW incidence.PMID:35472093 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0267646
