Methods S1. Treatment of missing coverage data
From 80 countries and territories identified as having implemented a HPV vaccination program through
2014, for five (Bahamas, Belize, French Polynesia, Liechtenstein and Niue) it was no possible to identify
neither targeted birth cohorts nor to obtain vaccination coverages and they were excluded from the
analysis. Coverage data from National HPV immunization programs was retrieved for 39 countries out of
75. Four hundred eighty one (481) point estimates were available for one dose, 369 for 2 doses and 602
for three doses. Combined, 645 birth cohorts had at least one coverage data point estimate and 444 (69%)
both one-dose coverage and full-course coverage.
S1.1) Estimation of missing dose-specific coverage from the available data
First treatment of missing data consisted on the derivation of missing dose-specific coverage from
existing one-dose, two-dose or three-dose coverage data in birth cohorts with incomplete data (197 out of
645). Imputation by linear regression (Figure S3) was performed to calculate missing full-course
coverage from available one-dose coverage (29 birth cohorts), from two-dose coverage (7 birth cohorts).
One-dose coverage was derived from available full-course coverage (2 or 3 doses depending on the
schedule) in 165 birth cohorts). As example, for observed one-dose HPV vaccination coverage of 80%,
73% 3-dose coverage was predicted (a ratio of 1.09). Whereas for a lower one-dose coverage of 10%,
predicted 3-dose coverage was 6.6% (ratio of 1.51). Models satisfied regression assumptions. Through the
analysis of residuals and computation of some dedicated statistics we checked the assumptions of
linearity, normality, homoscedasticity and independence. We also checked for influential observations
(e.g., outliers and observations with high leverage) and collinearity.
S1.2) Stepwise imputation algorithm for birth cohorts with missing coverage data
Second treatment of missing data consisted on the imputation algorithm for targeted birth cohorts without
coverage data (1297 out of 1922. Table S5 shows the stepwise process.1078 birth cohorts out of 1297
where from countries or territories with at least one coverage available from another birth cohort from the
same country or territory. In 45 birth cohorts coverages were derived through linear interpolation from
coverages between two distant birth cohorts with data (Step 1, Table S5). In Canada, Italy and
Switzerland, 106 regional birth cohorts without data were imputed with the national estimate (Table S5,
Step 2). 921 birth cohorts were assigned with the same coverage of the most recent estimation period
from the same country or territory, following WHO’s methodology1 (Table S5, Steps 3-5). In the case of
birth cohorts with an opportunistic strategy, the coverage imputed was reduced 60% when derived from
previous or subsequent organized/catch-up coverages (Table S5, Step 5). The 60% reduction factor was
computed from original data. In Canada, the weighted average from other regions was applied to 5
regional birth cohorts where there was no national data available to impute (Table S5, Step 6). In Brazil,
Lesotho, Mexico, Peru and Uganda there was no coverage data on current HPV vaccination programs, but
coverage was derived from demonstration projects or partial implementations previous to the introduction
of the nation-wide program (Table S5, Step 7). Nevertheless, in 32 countries or territories (corresponding
to 200 birth cohorts) we couldn’t retrieve any information on coverages, 15 (half of them) had introduced
the vaccine in the last two years and hadn’t coverage results published. For all these 199 birth cohorts we
assumed the average coverage of the rest of the countries of the same geographical region and/or income
level with the same year and age at vaccination (Table S5, Step 8).
Figure S4 shows the final coverage dataset by country and imputation method (Table S5). Original
coverage data points are reported in darker green. The rest of estimates are derived following the
imputation algorithm and the figure shows how original data influenced the rest of imputed data.
S1.3) Validation of the algorithm
Missing data imputation has many assumptions and may produce biased estimates. To address this, we
performed a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of our missing data treatment, including sensitivity
analyses, simulations and an assessment of the impact of imputations on the final estimates.
1. Impact of imputations in the final results
Table S6 shows the impact of the different imputation steps in the global estimates.
2
As birth cohorts have different weights depending on the population, the impact in the global estimates
differs considerably. We could directly obtain coverage data for 625 birth cohorts (33%) from original
sources. But it is important to note that when population weights are taken into account the 625 cohorts
represented in fact 54% of the targeted women (instead of 33%) and 52% of the number of vaccinated
females (see tables S5 and S6). 56% of birth cohorts, that represented 35% of targeted population, were
derived from subsequent or previous birth cohorts with original data (steps 1-5, tables S5 and S6). They
could be considered to introduce a “moderate” bias based upon the assumption that coverages do not
differ substantially from those from adjacent birth cohorts. Similar methodology is used by WHO for
global estimates of immunization coverage. However, the further the distance between the imputed
estimation and the original data point, more chances exist to increase bias. Imputation from previous
pilots involved 1% of birth cohorts representing 8% of targeted women. Coverage were imputed from
previous demonstration projects in the country, particularly large studies conducted in collaboration with
the ministries of health; however demonstration projects do not necessarily mimic the performance of a
wider national programme. The last step (Step 8 in Table S5) was the one with more associated
uncertainty, which is the imputation of coverages from the average of the rest of the countries. 10% of
birth cohorts representing 2% of targeted population were imputed through this methodology.
2. Assessment of imputations derived from coverages from adjacent birth cohorts (Steps 1-5)
To assess the validity of deriving data from or first available previous or subsequent birth cohorts (Steps
1-5 Table S5) we performed two distinct analyses: a) simulations and b) updated European birth cohorts
with newly retrieved data.
a) Simulations
We performed 50 simulations in which we took a random sample of 100 birth cohorts with
original data and ran the imputation algorithm treating this data as missing. Afterwards, we
compared the imputed data with the original data not used. The mean correlation coefficient was
0.84: ranging from 0.70 to 0.94. Figure S5 compares the resulting 5000 imputed coverages from
the 50 simulations combined to the original estimate. With all simulations combined, correlation
coefficient was 0.81and 670 imputations out of 5000 (13.4%) differed by more than 15% from
the original data. Linear interpolation (step 1) had the highest correlation (0.96), followed by in
imputations from adjacent birth cohorts (steps 3 and 4, Table S5, correlation coefficient of 0.70).
Step 2 (subnational estimates imputed with national estimates) had very poor correlation (-0.24)
although the analysis was based in two countries (Italy and Switzerland) with limited national
data and the impact in the global estimates was very small (1% of the targeted population).
b) Comparison with new retrieved data.
For a set of European countries, we reviewed available data sources through November 2015.
We were able to retrieve new data for 11 countries and 144 birth cohorts. Sixty-one coverages
from 10 countries replaced previously imputed coverages with new original data. Figure S6
shows the correlation between previously imputed and new original data. Most of these
coverages were derived from the original coverage of adjacent birth cohorts (steps 3 and 4, Table
S5). Although there were a few estimates that diverged more than 15 points, the correlation
coefficient was 0.79. The imputation slightly tended to overestimate coverage.
3. Sensitivity analysis for steps 6 to 8 of the imputation algorithm
Additionally, we performed a sensitivity analysis of most uncertain assumptions (the imputation steps
from previous demonstration projects and from the average of combining similar countries). We
considered a set of scenarios ranging from extreme impossible scenarios where all coverages from these
steps were set to 0% to another scenario were these coverages were set to 100%. Figures S7 and S8 show
the results. Intermediate scenarios are the combination of setting coverages to 0%, reducing the imputed
coverage to 50% or setting it at 100%.
The global estimate of 47 million of vaccinated women ranged from 39 to 51 million in the most extreme
scenarios. The impact of these imputations was more prominent in upper-middle income countries where
the number of vaccinated females could be 51% lower to 19% higher (a range of 7 to 16 millions).
However, in high-income countries, which provide the largest number of vaccinated women (70%), the
impact was almost negligible ranging from 31 to 33 million (see Figure S8).
Table S7 presents this same analysis detailed for all geographical regions and development level.

Methods S2. Prediction of the expected reduction in cervical cancer burden
Our predictions on the expected cervical cancer cases averted by vaccination are exclusively based on
current cancer estimates and population prospects. By using population projections, we control for overall
mortality and we assume that current cohorts of vaccinated girls will maintain at the same lifetime cancer
risk as estimated by current 2012 estimations. Studies comparing projections with actual data found that
the average absolute country error was 21%2. Country errors tended to cancel under aggregation and at
worldwide level was only 3%2. However, projections of country aggregations at lower level than for the
world, as in our case, may not have cancellation of error under aggregation and uncertainty of forecast
could be much higher.
The expected number of new cervical cancer cases or deaths up to the age of 74 years was computed
using contemporary age-specific incidence and mortality rates by the corresponding expected annual
population for 2013, 2014..., until the year of the 75th
birthday by birth cohort, age and country.
Female population data by country were obtained annually for the years 2010-2100 from United Nations
(UN) Population Division3, or U.S. Census Bureau
4 when unavailable from UN. The population by birth
cohort was calculated by subtracting the single age from the year of the estimation (i.e., the 15-year olds
who will have their birthday in 2014 were those born in 1999). For subnational regions we applied the
regional population weight to the national estimate5–10
.
Population projections are produced using a cohort-component projection method. This method assumes
three demographic components of change: births, deaths and international migration11
. Both population
sources provide de facto population by single age and sex. de facto population includes all persons who
are physically present in the country at the reference date. Therefore, the approximated populations by
birth cohort that we use hereby include migration assumptions and may not exactly correspond to the
population born in the country at a given year.
Estimates of cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates by 5-year age groups and country were
obtained from IARC’s GLOBOCAN 201212
. The project uses a standardized and hierarchical approach to
estimation using real data of quality wherever possible, to provide contemporary estimates (presently for
the year 2012) of incidence and mortality for 27 cancer sites by sex in 184 countries13
.
The calculation is illustrated in Table S8 for Denmark’s cohort born in 2000. Age is indexed by the
subscript i, yi is the
female population aged i at year y, and rj is the corresponding age-specific incidence
rate for age group j in 2012. Therefore the cumulative number of expected cervical cancer cases is
calculated as follows:
𝑁𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 = ∑(𝑝𝑦𝑖
𝑖,𝑗
× 𝑟𝑗)/105
In this example (Table S8) the expected cumulative number of cases by the age of 75 years is 348 cervical
cancer cases for Denmark’s cohort born in 2000, assuming that cancer rates will remain the same as
estimated in 2012.
Once obtained the expected number of cases, the number of prevented cases by vaccination is calculated
by multiplying the cumulative number of expected cases by the HPV vaccination coverage (full-course or
one-dose coverage) of the birth cohort and 70% effectiveness. Both for full-course and one-dose HPV
vaccination we assumed a 70% of effectiveness and long-life protection (100% efficacy against HPV 16
and 18, that are the cause of 70% of the cervical cancer burden worldwide). Following the example of
Table S8, HPV vaccination coverages for Danish 2000 birth cohort was 90%, 86% and 81% for one-,
two- and three- doses respectively. Therefore with full course coverage of 81% and assuming 70%
effectiveness, we expect to prevent 197 cases out of 348 in the 2000’ Danish birth cohort.
𝑁𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 = 𝑁𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 × 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 × 0.70 = 348 × 0.81 × 0.70 = 197
The cumulative number of cases due to non-16/18 HPV types in vaccinated women resulted from
multiplying the cumulative number of expected cases by the HPV vaccination coverage (full-course or
one-dose coverage) of the birth cohort and 30% (100% minus 70% assumed effectiveness).

𝑁𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝐻𝑃𝑉 16/18 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 = 𝑁𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 × 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 × 0.30 = 348 × 0.81 × 0.30 = 85
The cumulative number of cases in unvaccinated women resulted from subtracting the cumulative
number of cases prevented by vaccination and cumulative number of cases due to non-16/18 HPV types
in vaccinated women to the total number of expected number of cases
𝑁𝑖𝑛 𝑢𝑛𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 = 𝑁𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 − 𝑁𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 − 𝑁𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝐻𝑃𝑉16/18 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 = 348 − 197 − 85 = 66

Figure S1. Flow diagram of the systematic review
This diagram is an adaptation of the PRISMA flowchart for systematic review or meta-analysis14
. Records excluded due to lack of age-stratified coverage (N=49) group
different cases for which we could not reliably derive the age of vaccination. For example, official national estimates for Spain report global coverages for 11-14 years old for
a given year (i.e 73.1% in 2014). However, the age interval is a recommendation and subnational programmes define the specific vaccination age (some at 11 years, other at
13, etc). Therefore, in this case this estimate is excluded as we cannot derive the specific coverages for 11, 12, 13 and 14 years old separately.

Figure S2. Methodology for global HPV vaccination coverage calculation
See in Methods S1 the treatment of missing data * 20 birth cohorts out of 645 corresponded to national data in three countries reporting coverages regionally (Canada, Italy and Switzerland). These estimations were only used to estimate 106 regional coverages (see Table S5, step 2).

Partial implementation
The National HPV Vaccination Program initially provided quadrivalent HPV vaccine for all females aged 12-26 years as at mid 2007 (school program commenced April 2007 and GP/community program in July 2007) until end December 2009. From
2009 the Program offered HPV vaccination routinely to females in the first year of high school (usually at 12-13 years). From 2013, males were also offered HPV vaccination routinely in the first year of high school (age 12-13 years), with a catch-up
program available for males aged 14-15 years in 2013 and 2014.
The HPV vaccine has been available since February 2014 for all children living in Austria in the fourth grade (consummate ninth years of age) free of charge. Before 2014 the vaccine was recommended but not publicy financed. The children will be
vaccinated at school, in some Länder, also in public vaccination and established pediatricians. In addition, the HPV vaccine to the public vaccination centers of the Länder for children from the age of 9 will be offered free of charge until the age of 12. The
states provide for children up to the age of 15 also catch-up vaccinations at a reduced cost price.
HPV vaccination is not included in the National Immunization schedule. The vaccination is voluntary, but free of charge for 12-year-old girls.

BC is currently providing the HPV2 vaccine at no cost to young women who are 26 years old and younger and born before 1994. This is a limited time program. Catch-up program for grade 9 during 2008-11 (girls 14-15). The HPV vaccine program
started in September 2008 in a 3-dose series, with all 3 doses given in grade 6. In September 2010, it was changed to an ‘extended’ dose schedule with 2 doses given 6 months apart in grade 6 and a planned 3rd dose to be given 60 months after the 1st
dose in grade 11. In 2013 the extended schedule changed: 3rd dose of HPV vaccine to be offered in grade 9.

Starting in 2012, girls in Grades 9–12 who didn't receive or didn't complete the three-dose HPV immunization in Grade 8 can now get their vaccines free of charge, until the end of Grade 12.
Catch-up program for grade 9 during 2009-10 (girls 14-15). HPV vaccination program expanded to boys since 2013.
Since 2008, Québec has used a 0, 6 and 60 month school based extended HPV vaccine schedule for girls in grade 4. The provision of the 3rd dose of the HPV vaccine to grade 9 girls was to commence in 2013. However, Québec’s HPV vaccine schedule was
updated to 2 doses in grade 4 only, without a 3rd dose. Catch-up program for grade 9 during 2009-13 (girls 14-15).

Catch-up program for grades 7 and 8 during 2009-10 (girls 12-14). Free to girls 9-18 from 2011 to 2013.
As part of the Danish childhood vaccination programme, girls aged around 12 years are offered HPV vaccine (since 2009, girls born in 1996 or later). However, the HPV vaccination is free of charge for targeted girls until the age of 18 (previously to 15-
year age). Girls born in 1993, 1994 or 1995 were offered free HPV vaccination as part of a catch-up programme which ran from October 2008 to the end of 2010. From 27 August 2012 to 31 Dec 2013, women born in 1985-92 have been offered free HPV
vaccination. From 1 Jan 2014 to 31 Dec 2015 HPV vaccination will be offered to any girl or woman born 1993-1997.
Until September 2012, French guidelines recommended the 3-dose vaccine regimen be administered routinely to all girls aged 14 years and catch-up vaccination to women aged 15–23 without sexual activity or with a sexual debut in the
year before vaccination. In 2012 the recommendation expanded to girls aged 11-14 years old with a catch-up vaccination until 20 years. The reimbursement rate for these vaccines is 65% of their price.
Since 2007 to 2014, the German routine immunization schedule offered free vaccination to 12-17 year-old girls. In 2014 the calendar has changed targeting primarely 9-14 aged girls with a 2-dose schedule (0-6m) , complemented by a catch-up
vaccination of girls aged 15-17 years with a 3-dose regimen. There is a well-child visit at 12-14 years of age.
Greece introduced HPV vaccines to its National Vaccination Program in January 2008 and the vaccine is delivered free of charge to females between 12 and 26. The vaccination is given on demand through healthcare providers (GP).
The recommendation is to vaccinate women between the 12–15 year age range, and a catch up strategy is also provided for those aged 16–26 years
2-doses <14/15 (since 2014)
3-doses standard the restRecommended vaccination only
The target age group is 11 to 12 year old students. However, the vaccine will also be available to young women between the ages of 11 and 17 years at the various Health Services Authority facilities.
Initially (2012) the program started targeting 4th year graders. In 2013, the program expanded vaccination to schooled girls from grades 4 to 11 (9-17 years old). Unschooled girls aged 9-17 or from remote areas are reached by means of special
campaigns.

All girls in 1st year in second level schools will be offered the HPV vaccine each year. From September 2014 all girls less than 15 years of age require two doses of the HPV vaccine given at 0 and 6 months. All girls aged 15 years and older require three
doses of the HPV vaccine given at 0 and 6 months and the third dose will be given at least three months after the second dose. The HPV catch-up vaccination programme for 6th year girls (17-18 years) run from the school year 2011/12 to the end
2013/2014.
In general, Greenland follows a similar programme to the Danish childhood vaccination programme, but the Greenland HPV vaccination programme started later. As of 2007, vaccination with the quadrivalent vaccine (Gardasil) for both genders was
planned, but a re-evaluation in 2008 changed the decision to include only girls; the programme that was initiated in 2008 was directed at girls aged 12 years with a catch-up vaccination for girls aged 13–15 years. In Greenland, the HPV vaccine is
currently administered, free of charge, only to girls aged 12–27 years.

Demonstration projects were conducted in 2008 (target: girls 9-18 years old) and 2011 (target: girls 9-13 years old) through the Gardasil Access Program
Girls aged 12 receive a personal letter of invitation. Girls aged between 13 and 18 do not receive a personal invitation, but the vaccine will be issued for free in pharmacies under medical prescription.
From 2009, the bivalent HPV vaccine was partly funded by the Suginami local government. By April 2010, 32 of 1,747 local governments had decided to provide funding for the HPV vaccine. In October 2010, the central and local governments launched a
temporary funding program and in April 2013, the HPV vaccine was included in the National Immunization Program (but was optional) and given for free.
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) partially suspended the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme in June, 2013. Due to fears of adverse events, especially complex regional pain syndrome, the MHLW issued a
nationwide notice that while the HPV vaccine could still be given for free to girls aged 12 to 16, it should neither be proactively recommended nor promoted. In suspending its recommendation, the MHLW declared that it would investigate the reported
cases, but as of April 2014, no conclusion has been reached.

By a decision of the Ministry of Health from 2008, HPV vaccination was introduced into the national immunization program in October 2009 as obligatory for 12-year-old girls. The quadrivalent vaccine has been used in the national immunization
program and is delivered through a school-based program. The catch-up vaccination is provided for 13- to 26-year old girls and women, and is also free of charge and is delivered through healthcare facilities.

HPV vaccine was introduced in 2008 to 125 targeted municipalities (comprising approximately 5% of Mexico's population) to girls aged 12-16 years using a 0-2-6 m schedule. In 2009, Mexico expanded its HPV vaccination program to include 182
municipalities with the lowest human development index and changed to an extended dosing schedule that targets girls aged 9--12 years for the first 2 doses, delivered 6 months apart, followed by the third dose 60 months later. In 2011, Mexico's
National Immunization Council approved a nationwide expansion of its HPV vaccination program to include school-based vaccination of all girls aged 9 years and to unschooled girls aged 11 years.
In 2008, the Romanian Ministry of Health rolled out a schoolbased immunization campaign providing free vaccines for 10- to 11-year-old girls. Coverage statistics revealed that only a 2.57% girls received vaccination. In 2009 an information campaign
was launched, followed by a second vaccination programme, targeting 12- to 14-year-old girls. A catch-up programme was also launched, where adult women were given the opportunity to get the vaccine free of charge through their health provider.
Despite the accessibility of the vaccine, initiation remained low and the schoolbased programme was discontinued.
Since 2010, 12 year-old girls are invited to receive the HPV vaccination within the National Immunization Program and includes girls who were born in 1997 or thereafter. All the girls get an invitation in the year they reach 13 years. The invitation
states exactly where to go and whom to call for more information. The vaccination is free and is not mandatory. In 2009, a HPV vaccination catch-up campaign was organized for girls born between 1993 and 1996 (at that time, 13 to 16 years of age).
The HPV immunisation in New Zealand is free for girls and young women up to their 20th birthday. It is free for non-residents who are under the age of 16 and are living in New Zealand for nine months or more. It is available through participating
schools or from family doctors, local health centres and some Family Planning clinics. All girls who are in year 8 at school are offered the vaccine either through a school-based immunisation programme or through their family doctor if a school
programme is not available. The programme started on 1 September 2008 for young women born in 1990 and 1991. In 2009 the programme was extended to girls born from 1992 onwards.
During the year of introduction of the vaccine, 2013, the vaccine was offered to two cohorts of girls born between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2003 ( aged 10 and 11 years in 2013 respectively). From 2014 onwards, the vaccine will be
administered to a single cohort of girls at 10 years of age.
In October 2008 the HPV vaccination was introduced in the National Immunization Program (NIP) for girls 13 years old, born from 1995. From 2009 to 2011 ran a catch-up vaccination campaign for girls <=17 years old (born between 1992 and 1994).
Vaccination was temporarily suspended in 2012, but resumed in 2013

HPV vaccines have been incorporated in some regional immunization programs. Programs have started in the following regions: Moscow (2009), Moscow Region (2009), Ekaterinburg, Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug (2009), Perm (2009–2010), Smolensk
(2010), Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Sakha, and Primorski Kray (2010–2011). In 2012, the programs were extended to Altay, Sakhalin and Kemerovo.
Through a 3-year donation of the HPV Vaccine, all girls in Primary 6 (ages 11 and 12 years) were vaccinated starting April 2011. Out-of-school girls were targeted through community health workers. In 2012, the campaign targeted secondary school
girls. In 2014, GAVI Alliance announced that it will support Rwanda vaccination programme.
The vaccine is approved and recommended for females aged 9 years to 26 years. With effect from 1 November 2010, patients can use up to $400 per Medisave account per year under the Medisave400 scheme to pay for HPV vaccination. Patients can use
their own Medisave or that of their immediate family members (e.g. parents or spouse) to help pay for the vaccination. Medisave is a national medical savings scheme.
Recommended only. Not included in the national immunization schedule. Partial reimbursement by the national healthcare system
Age of the primary target will switch to 12 years old in 2015 with a complementary catch-up program for 13-14 years old.
Vaccination programmes vary by region (see below). The Inter-Territorial Council of the National Health System, the coordination body for the different Health services from the Autonomous Communities of
Spain, approved in 2007 the general recommendation to initiate routine HPV vaccination in Spain, with a cohort of girls to choose between 11-14 years of age, but with preference for age 14, and a deadline
for implementation until 2010. Afterwards, each Autonomous Community designed its own implementation program starting in 3 of them in 2007, and the rest in 2008. In 2014 the Inter-Territorial Council
approved the recommendation to switch from a 3 to a 2-dose scheme following the approved manufacturer recommendations. By fall of 2014, most of the Autonomous Communtities of Spain have changed to
a 2-dose regime when applicable.
In 2011 switched from a "intensive" strategy where all targeted girls were vaccinated massively at once to a stepwise strategy, were girls are vaccinated when they reach 14 years of age
Despite using health centers for vaccine delivery, there is a school-based awareness campaign at the begining of each school year.

In 2012 primary targeted cohort switched from 14 years (2nd year secondary school) to 12 years olds.
Age of the primary target will switch to 12 years old in 2015. Catch-up at 14 years of age.
In 2015 primary target will change to girls aged 13 and 14 years. In 2016 girls aged 12 and 13 years, and from 2017 onwards 12 years old.
In March 2008, HPV vaccination was introduced for all female students, grade 11, 15-17 years, in all the schools of Abu Dhabi Emirate. In 2013, the program was expanded to include young women 18-26 years old as a catch up cohort
Girls who missed HPV vaccination first time around, can receive a catch up HPV vaccination up to age of 18. At the start of the programme there was a catch-up for girls born between 1991-1995.
Since January 1, 2010 the HPV vaccine was included in the childhood vaccination program and given to girls born in 1999 or later who are in grades 5 or 6. The county councils also conduct a free extended vaccination (catch-up) of girls born in 1993 or
later.
Vaccination implementation strategies vary by region (cantons). The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Commission for Vaccination (FCV) recommend general vaccination for all girls aged 11 to 14, and catch-up vaccination for
girls aged 15 to 19. Vaccination is also recommended for women up to the age of 26 as well, but needs to be decided with the physician on an individual basis. Vaccination adhering to these guidelines is free of charge within the framework of the
cantonal vaccination programmes. For 15- to 26-year-olds, coverage is limited up to 2017. Vaccination programs are organized by the cantonal authorities and implemented by the school medical services and / or medical practitioners. These programs
vary depending on the canton and are subject to cantonal monitoring.
Through a 3-year donation of the HPV Vaccine, girls aged 9-12 years from 12 districts were vaccinated starting 2012. In 2014, GAVI Alliance announced that it will support National Uganda vaccination programme as of 2015.

HPV Immunization programme: Public national/subnational HPV immunization programme in place. Publicly mandated programmes have a law, official regulation, decision, directive or recommendation that provides the public mandate to implement the
programme with an authorized vaccine, target group and funding/co-payment determined. Countries can have immunization guidelines and HPV vaccine administration through the private sector, but without a public national programme.
Primary target: Age group prioritized to receive the vaccine and main objective of the HPV Immunization programme.
Catch-up: Complementary strategies to expand vaccination to other groups not included in the primary target population. It can also refer to an alternative strategy to complete a course of vaccination at later ages if the person missed previous vaccination
opportunities.
Organized: Targeted groups are actively reached within an organized plan.Opportunistic: Targeted groups should seek vaccination by themselves at designated centres.
3-doses standard: administration of three doses following the standard vaccination schedule as 0-2-6 months for the quadrivalent vaccine or 0-1-6 months for the bivalent vaccine.
2 doses: 0-6m if not otherwise stated.
Since 2014, based on clinical trials results several agencies responsible for the scientific evaluation of medicines, like the European Medicines Agency, approved a two-dose schedule for girls aged less than 15 or 14 depending on the vaccine (Cervarix or
Gardasil).

Recommendations for HPV vaccination have evolved since HPV4 was first licensed in 2006. In June 2006, HPV4 was licensed for use in females and recommended for routine vaccination of females aged 11 or 12 years and for those aged 13 through 26
years not previously vaccinated. In 2009, HPV2 was licensed for use in females and ACIP updated recommendations to state that either HPV vaccine is recommended for females. In 2009, HPV4 was licensed for use in males and in late 2011, HPV4 was
recommended for routine vaccination of males aged 11 or 12 years and for those aged 13 through 21 years not previously vaccinated. The recommendations for females and males state that the vaccination series can be started beginning at age 9 years.
Almost all HPV vaccinations are delivered by primary care providers or health clinics (191). In the United States, there is both public and private financing for vaccines. The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) supplies enrolled private and public health-
care providers with federally purchased vaccines for use among uninsured, Medicaid-eligible and other entitled children through age 18 years. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, nongrandfathered private health plans must
offer, at no cost to beneficiaries, vaccines that are recommended by ACIP. Similarly, qualified health plans on the new health insurance exchanges that went into effect starting in 2014 must offer ACIP-recommended vaccines at no cost to beneficiaries.

Table S4. Description of the methods, assumptions and outcomes Methods sorted by sequential order
Description Assumptions Variables and outcomes Related tables/figures
I. Data extraction
1. Identification of HPV vaccination programmes (HPV-NIP)
1.1. HPV-NIP were identified through October 2014 via several sources
These sources combined identify all HPV-NIPs Countries with PVP Table S1
1.2. Retrieval of online information from health ministries and a systematic review of the literature supplemented by web-based searches of identified HPV-NIPs
Programmatic information corresponds with actual implementation
Year of introduction, target ages, schedule, vaccine delivery and targeted birth cohorts by country/subnational entity and implementation strategy (primary vs catch-up). Dataset with birth cohorts targeted by country/subnational entity
Figure S1
2. Retrieval of HPV vaccination coverages
2.1. Systematic review of the literature and official websites
Coverage information is available online Coverage (%) for 1, 2- and 3-doses by birth cohort or age and year of the estimation
Figure S1
2.2. Conversion of all retrieved information into birth cohort-specific coverages derived from the population age and the year of the estimation.
Coverages have remained stable since the year of the estimation and the closing date of the present analysis
Dataset with birth cohorts with HPV vaccination coverage by country/subnational region
Tables S2-S3
3. Denominators 3.1. Female population data by birth cohort and country were obtained annually for the year 2012 from the United Nations Population Division and the U.S. Census Bureau
Targeted populations coincide with estimated national/subnational populations and projections
Number of females by birth cohort and country Figure S9
II. Statistical analysis
4. Treatment of missing data
4.1. Estimation of dose-specific coverage from the available data using a regression model
All targeted birth cohorts were assigned with a one-dose coverage and a full-course coverage
Figure S3
4.2. Stepwise imputation algorithm for birth cohorts with missing coverage data
Missing coverages between two distant birth cohorts with data can be approximated through linear interpolation
Tables S5-S7, Figures S4-S8
Coverages are similar in adjacent birth cohorts with the same delivery strategy
Missing subnational coverages approximate the national estimate or the average of the rest of subnational regions within the country
Missing coverages can be approximated from large previous demonstrations projects or partial implementations
When no coverage data are available for a given country, the use of the weighted average from countries with the same implementation strategy and age at vaccination imputes an non-evidence based value, but less biased than unrealistic extreme coverages of 0% or 100%
5. Estimation of the number of vaccinated females
5.1. For each birth cohort, the number of females (see 3.1) was multiplied by the coverage assigned (see 2.2, 4.1 and 4.2)
All previous related assumptions Number of vaccinated females by birth cohort and country
Table of the article, Figures 3-4
6. Estimation of the 95% confidence intervals of the number of vaccinated females
6.1. 95% confidence intervals were computed using the percentile method in a bootstrap process with 3000 replications
Each bootstrap subsample is drawn independently from other samples
Subsamples come from the same distribution of the population
Upper and lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval
Table of the article
7. Estimation of HPV 7.1. Sum of the number of vaccinated females divided All previous assumptions (1 to 6) One dose and full-course coverages by country Table of the
37
vaccination coverages by country/region
by the total/targeted population and region article, Figures 3-5, tables S9-S12
8.Estimation of the expected reduction in cervical cancer cases and deaths
8.1 Female population projections by birth cohort and country were obtained annually for the years 2012-2100 from the United Nations Population Division and the U.S. Census Bureau
Population projections will correct cancer burden estimations for overall mortality. Population projections are valid approximations of future population numbers.
Number of females by birth cohort and country for the years 2012-2100
Methods S2, Figure 5
8.2. Estimates of cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates by 5-year age groups and country were obtained from IARC’s GLOBOCAN 2012
Estimates from IARC’s GLOBOCAN 2012 are valid measures of actual contemporary cervical cancer incidence and mortality for all countries
Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates by 5-year age groups and country
8.3. Estimation of expected cervical cancer cases in targeted birth cohorts by multiplying the contemporary age-specific incidence and mortality rates (see 8.2) by the corresponding expected annual population for 2013, 2014, etc (see 8.1), until the year of the 75th birthday by birth cohort, age and country
Birth cohorts included in the analysis would maintain the same lifetime risk of cervical cancer as estimated by current estimations (2012) in the absence of vaccination.
Number of expected cases of cervical cancer by birth cohort and country
8.4. Estimation of the number of cases prevented was computed by multiplying individual HPV vaccination coverages by the number of expected cancer cases for each birth cohort (see 8.3)
All previous assumptions and sustained vaccine effectiveness of 70% over time and across regions
Number of averted cases of cervical cancer by birth cohort and country
