Papillomavirus (HPV), the virus responsible for the world's leading sexually transmitted disease, is above all the main infectious agent responsible for cancers. The HPV cycle, infection - precancerous lesion -- cancer, is well documented for the Cervix, 44. Other cancers concern anus (24%), oro-pharyngeal sphere (22%), glans penis and vulva. These cancers also concern boys (30% of the total). The vaccination allows a primary and general prevention. "Of all vaccines, the one against human papillomavirus (HPV) has one of the highest impacts on mortality per person" (WHO,2017). Vaccination is recommended in France for girls since 2007 and for boys since 2020. Efficacy and tolerance are excellent. In France, vaccination coverage slowly increasing (< 50% for girls, 12.8 % for boys by 2022), and is still insufficient to have an epidemiological impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
