Non-Adherence To Childhood HPV Vaccination Is Associated With Non-Participation In Cervical Cancer Screening – A Nationwide Danish Register-Based Cohort Study

摘要

The combination of organized cervical cancer screening and childhood HPV vaccination programs has the potential to eliminate cervical cancer in the future. However, only women participating in both programs gain the full protection, and combined non-attenders remain at high risk of developing cervical cancer. Our aim was to analyze the association between non-adherence to HPV vaccination and non-participation in cervical cancer screening for the total population and stratified by native background and parental education.
