Which countries include human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in their vaccination schedules? 2006
to 2023

This shows which countries provide and recommend HPV vaccines through routine services. People may still be able to receive the vaccine if it's not in the routine schedule– it might be optional or available commercially.

What you should know about this indicator

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common viral infection that can cause genital warts and is linked to several cancers, including cervical, anal, and throat cancers. The HPV vaccine provides effective protection against the most high-risk types of the virus and helps prevent related cancers.

How we process data at Our World in Data

All data and visualizations on Our World in Data rely on data sourced from one or several original data providers. Preparing this original data involves several processing steps. Depending on the data, this can include standardizing country names and world region definitions, converting units, calculating derived indicators such as per capita measures, as well as adding or adapting metadata such as the name or the description given to an indicator.

At the link below you can find a detailed description of the structure of our data pipeline, including links to all the code used to prepare data across Our World in Data.
