Scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and partner institutions conducted a study to estimate the effectiveness of a vaccination programme against human papillomavirus (HPV) that was implemented in Bhutan in 2010 for girls aged 12–18 years and achieved almost 90% coverage of the target population. The study was published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
