Quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccination and non-targeted infectious disease hospitalisation: Population-based self-controlled case series analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Claims of non-live vaccines having deleterious effects on non-targeted infectious disease and mortality among females persists. The majority of the available evidence is from West Africa and consists of observational studies and the interpretation and implications are controversial.
