Summary:Highlights • HPV is associated with several cancers, including cervical and anogenital cancers. • Immunosuppression can lead to accelerated and earlier onset cancers. • A clinical trial on HPV vaccine was conducted in immunocompromised children. • Vaccine was immunogenic - seroconversion rates rapidly increased for all serotypes. • More research is needed to inform benefits of HPV vaccine for immunocompromised.
