Human Papillomavirus Vaccination by Birth Fiscal Year in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan aggregates human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination data across Japan for each fiscal year (FY) by age at vaccination. Birth FY (BFY)-specific vaccination coverage remains unknown.

Objective

To calculate the BFY-specific vaccination coverage for each FY and the cumulative first-dose coverage for each BFY in Japan, to understand the generation-specific vaccination coverage, and to estimate the cumulative first-dose coverage of each BFY that would be achieved by FY 2028 vs World Health Organization (WHO) targets.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cross-sectional study, MHLW-published national age-specific HPV vaccination numbers and demographic data for female individuals were used to calculate
