Safety assured of HPV vaccine—The Committee reviewed updated information about the safety of human papillomavirus vaccines (HPV). The last review was conducted in June 2009, * and GACVS noted at the time that accumulating evidence on the safety of HPV vaccines was reassuring and that studies on HPV immunization had been initiated, along with capacity-building for adverse events monitoring. GACVS continues to place a high priority on the ongoing collection of high-quality safety data in settings where the vaccine is being introduced.
