Infectious disease hospitalization after receipt of human papillomavirus vaccine: a nationwide register-based cohort study among Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish girls.

ABSTRACT: It has been suggested that non-live vaccines may increase susceptibility to non-targeted infections and that such deleterious non-specific effects are more pronounced in girls.

The cohort consisted of girls aged 11-14 years in Denmark, Finland, and Norway, and 10-14 years in Sweden.
