Persistence of immune response following bivalent HPV vaccination: A follow-up study among girls routinely vaccinated with a two-dose schedule.
In this cohort study, we examined antibody levels and avidity after a two-dose schedule (0, 6 months) of the bivalent HPV-vaccine in girls routinely vaccinated in the Dutch HPV-vaccination program, up to 2 years following vaccination. A blood sample at 7, 12 and 24 months after the first dose and questionnaire data were collected (n = 56). HPV type-specific antibody concentrations (lU/ml) against seven types (HPV16/18/31/33/45/52/58) were assessed using a validated virus-like particles (VLP) multiplex immunoassay. Avidity was tested using a modification of this assay. Seropositivity for vaccine types HPV 16 and 18 was 100% up to month 24, but declined for HPV-types 31/33/45/52/58, although not statistically significant for HPV45. All Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) declined by months 12 and 24, but remained high for HPV16/18. Between month 7 and 12, GMCs declined more for other types. High avidity antibodies were induced up to 24 months for vaccine types (75%, 76-78% and 81-82% at months 7, 12 and 24, respectively), but for other types antibody avidity was 16-29% at month 7, 20-32% at month 12 and 19-32% at month 24. GMCs declined over time for HPV-types 16/18/31/33/45/52/58, but remained high for vaccine-types HPV16/18 up to 24 months of follow-up. Antibody avidity was >75% for vaccine types but <35% for other HPV-types. Further follow-up of this cohort will provide insight into antibody and avidity kinetics over time

Vaccine effectiveness following routine immunization with bivalent HPV vaccine: Protection against incident genital HPV infections from a reduced-dosing schedule.
Vaccine effectiveness following routine immunization with bivalent HPV vaccine: Protection against incident genital HPV infections from a reduced-dosing schedule.
BACKGROUND: In the Netherlands, the bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been offered to preadolescent girls via the National Immunization Program in a 2-dose schedule since 2014. The current study estimates vaccine effectiveness (VE) against HPV infections up to 4 years postvaccination among girls eligible for routine 2-dose immunization. METHODS: A cohort study (HAVANA2) was used in which participants annually filled out an online questionnaire and provided a vaginal self-sample for determination of HPV by the SPF10-LiPA25 assay, able to detect 25 HPV types. VE against incident type-specific infections and pooled outcomes was estimated by a Cox proportional hazards model with shared frailty between the HPV types. RESULTS: In total, 2027 girls were included in the study, 1098 (54.2%) of whom were vaccinated with 2 doses. Highest incidence rate was 5.0/1000 person-years (HPV-51) among vaccinated participants and 9.1/1000 person-years (HPV-74) among unvaccinated participants. Adjusted pooled VE was 84.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.0%–96.5%) against incident HPV-16/18 infections and 86.5% (95% CI, 39.5%–97.08%) against cross-protective types HPV-31/33/45. CONCLUSIONS: Four years postvaccination, 2 doses of bivalent HPV vaccine were effective in the prevention of incident HPV-16/18 infections and provided cross-protection to HPV-31/33/45. Our VE estimates rival those from 3-dose schedules, indicating comparable protection by 2-dose schedules
Early effect of bivalent human papillomavirus vaccination on cytology outcomes in cervical samples among young women in the Netherlands
Background: The first HPV-vaccine eligible cohorts in the Netherlands will enter the cervical screening program in 2023. However, a substantial number of young women already have had a cervical sample taken before entry into the regular screening program. This study was initiated to explore early effects of HPV vaccination on detection of cytological abnormalities in cervical samples of women younger than the screening age. Methods: Results of cervical samples were obtained from the Dutch National Pathology Databank (PALGA) and were linked to the women's HPV vaccination status from the national vaccination registry (Praeventis) (N = 42,171). Occurrence of low-grade and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or worse (LSIL and HSIL+) and high-risk HPV positive tests (hrHPV) in the first cervical sample were compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated women by multivariable logistic regression analysis, corrected for age at cervical sampling and age of vaccination (12/13 years, ≥ = 14 years). Results: For fully vaccinated women (three- or two-dose schedule), statistically significant reductions were seen for all outcomes compared to unvaccinated women (hrHPV: adjusted OR, 0.70, 95% CI, 0.63–0.79; LSIL: 0.70, 0.61–0.80; HSIL+: 0.39, 0.30–0.51). Conclusions: By linking nation-wide registries on pathology and vaccination, we show significant beneficial early effects of HPV-vaccination on LSIL, HSIL+, CIN3/AIS/carcinoma and hrHPV detection in young women upto 24 years of age who have a cervical sample taken before entry into the cervical cancer screening program

Immune responses after two- versus three-doses of HPV vaccination up to 4½ years post vaccination: an observational study among Dutch routinely vaccinated girls (HPV2D)
Partial protective effect of bivalent HPV16/18 vaccination against anogenital warts in a large cohort of Dutch primary care patients.
Partial protective effect of bivalent HPV16/18 vaccination against anogenital warts in a large cohort of Dutch primary care patients.
Background: There is ongoing debate about the possible protective effect of the bivalent human papillomavirus (2vHPV) vaccine, targeting oncogenic types HPV-16/18, against anogenital warts (AGWs), commonly attributed to HPV-6/11. We performed a retrospective registry-based open cohort study to assess the effect of 2vHPV vaccination on AGWs. Methods: We linked general practice (ie, primary care) data from women born between 1993 and 2002, who had been eligible for HPV vaccination in the Netherlands, to the Dutch national immunization registry on an individual level. Women were followed until their first AGW diagnosis or end of follow-up. Adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRRs) were estimated using Poisson regression with vaccination status as a time-dependent exposure. Results: We linked data of 96 468 women with a total of 328 019 years observation time and 613 AGW diagnoses (incidence: 1.87/1000 person-years). At the end of follow-up, 61% were 2vHPV vaccinated (≥ 1 dose) of whom 91% were fully vaccinated. The AGW incidence was lower among those with ≥ 1 dose vs 0 doses (aIRR, 0.75 [95% confidence interval {CI},. 64-.88]). The effect of vaccination was stronger after full vaccination (aIRR, 0.72 [95% CI,. 61-.86]) and for women who were offered vaccination at 12-13 years of age (aIRR, 0.69 [95% CI,. 51-.93]) vs those at 13-16 years of age (aIRR, 0.77 [95% CI,. 64-.93]). Conclusions: This is the largest population-based study so far to examine the effect of 2vHPV vaccination on AGWs, with reliable individual information on AGW diagnoses and vaccination status. The results indicate that 2vHPV vaccination partially protects against AGWs, especially when administered in early adolescence
