They prevent major sputum-producing bacteria. Even though the National Health Service (NHS) was recently switched to a tetravalent vaccine, it began in 2008 and inoculated adolescent girls (aged 12 to 13) with a bivalent vaccine. An unconventional vaccine is currently being developed (for the nine HPV stocks including the four above), the MEMVIE team will conduct a cost benefit analysis at the appropriate time.
