Abstract

The paper analyzes the data available in the current scientific literature on the problem of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in women over 25 years of age. Based on the data on the incidence and prevalence of HPV, sexual behavior and HPV transmission, and the lack of reliable immunity after natural infection, it is shown that sexually active middle-aged women are still at risk for a new HPV infection, which can lead to cervical cancer. HPV vaccines are immunogenic and safe in this age group and should be proposed to adult women. A combination of screening technologies and HPV vaccination has a great potential for reducing the incidence of cervical cancer in women of all ages.
