HPV Vaccine Delivery Strategies to Reach Out-of-School Girls in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Narrative Review
Background/Objectives: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have the highest global burden of cervical cancer deaths. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a key strategy for cervical cancer elimination, and in LMICs, global recommendations to vaccinate girls aged 9–14 years against HPV are generally implemented through school-based immunization platforms. Unfortunately, this strategy risks missing out-of-school (OOS) girls (i.e., girls not enrolled in formal schools). This narrative review maps the literature and synthesizes existing evidence on service delivery strategies for reaching OOS girls with HPV vaccination in LMICs.
Methods: Using relevant databases, we conducted a narrative review of published, peer-reviewed literature to map and synthesize the existing evidence on effective service delivery strategies for reaching OOS girls with HPV vaccination in LMICs.
