The results are from a research project by Tampere and Helsinki Universities and the Population Association (Väestöliitto). The study included 24,000 young women.

A work group at the Institute for Health and Welfare is considering if it would be best to introduce a nationwide vaccination program against papillomavirus. The Working Group should complete its work this coming spring.

In the near future further research findings are expected to indicate whether the vaccine provides better protection if both girls and boys are vaccinated.

The results will be presented over the weekend at a conference in Amsterdam.
