Long Term Immune Memory Responses to HPV Vaccination Following 2 vs 3 Doses of Quad-HPV Vaccine

This is a single center, interventional study to evaluate long term memory response to Q-HPV vaccination and to natural infection. Memory response will be assessed by measuring seroprotection 8-10 years post Q-HPV vaccination and to challenge with a booster dose years after the original exposure to measure the long-lasting anamnestic response.
