Randomized Trial of Alternative Quadrivalent Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccination Schedules in a University Setting

The recommendations for HPV vaccine include catch-up of women 18 to 26 years old. Given that a large percentage of women in this age group are attending college, a good place to access them would be through the student health services on college campuses. However, the HPV vaccine schedule of 0, 2, and 6 months is likely to be difficult to implement in a college calendar year and the immunogenicity of alternative schedules is unknown. If the immunogenicity of an altered schedule is good, then higher vaccination rates may be achievable. Aims: 1. Determine if delay in the third dose is immunologically non-inferior to the standard administration schedule (1 month post-dose 3). 2. Determine the side effect profile of a delayed third dose, in comparison to the standard schedule
