Totally support getting the HPV vaccine! Doesn’t the currently licensed vaccine protect against 9 strains though, not 20+?

You’re right- up to nine. It’s likely to protect against more but the clinical trials aren’t worth paying for at this point.

I work in vaccine research and I’m happy to say that we have many large scale HPV vaccine studies happening all the time around the world. The trials are still receiving funding, especially phase 4 to optimize the dosing schedule.
