  2. *For the girls who got vaccinated by FY2018.
  3. For the girls who got immunized by FY 2018, informed consent was obtained through opt-out methods. It was shown as < 10 if the number of girls who was vaccinated is less than 10 before and in FY 2018, in view of not revealing personal information based on the ethical regulation for epidemiological research in Japan. Likewise, the total number of targeted girls in each FY was also withheld, so that each girl is not to be identified personally.
  4. **For the girls who got vaccinated in FY2019.
  5. Written informed consent was obtained to use their personal data regarding HPV vaccination for the girls who got immunized in FY 2019. There was only one person whose informed consent was not obtained and excluded from the analysis.
