1 Planning an effective HPV vaccination launch: The key indicators for success Joakim Dillner Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology PI, International HPV Reference Center Director, Swedish Cervical Cancer Prevention Registry Director, Swedish National Biobanking Infrastructure (BBMRI.se) PI, Nordic Center of Excellence in Health-related esciences Karolinska Institute and Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Joakim Dillner 21/04/2015 1

2 Basic facts firmly established and communicated. Vaccine characteristics: *Near-complete efficacy against HPV infection but only if not previously infected. *High burden of diseases caused by HPV (not only cervical cancer) *Large experience: >100 million vaccinations performed already *Long-lasting protection *Vaccine prices are dropping rapidly (now 20% or less of original levels) no longer an expensive vaccine.

4 HPV vaccination in Sweden : No organised vaccination. Vaccine available and subsidized for girls yrs of age. Un-organiserad vaccination: Only 29,7% coverage. About 15 times (!) more common to vaccinate if the parents have university education (Leval et al, 2013). Organised vaccination 2012: yrs of age in schools; yrs organised (in schools or primary care centers, but always with population-based appointments). HPV-vaccination registry in effect since 2006 (Research project). Mandatory government registry since 1/

8 WHO global recommendation on HPV vaccination: Organized, school-based vaccination globally recommended. Monitoring of coverage and safety. Effectiveness monitoring performed to a different extent in different countries. -Global WHO HPV LabNet defined international QC criteria for HPV assays intended for effectiveness monitoring. But what is actually being done in the different countries of Europe?

9 Survey on organization and quality control sent to all EU/EFTA countries Reported organization status Organized vaccination: 16 countries Only females (ages 10-14) targeted Catch-up program in 9 countries Opportunistic vaccination: 11 countries Defined as: program under development, vaccination purely opportunistic, vaccination included in immunization schedule but no governmental sponsorship Namn Efternamn 21 april

14 HPV vaccination program - monitoring Most common indicators used to monitor vaccination impact in population HPV-related disease incidence and mortality (most countries) Screening attendance by vaccinated women (England, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and Wales) Prevalence of HPV in the population (England, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, and Wales) Prevalence of abnormal screening results (Denmark, England, Italy, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland) HPV-typing of precancerous lesions (England, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland). Namn Efternamn 21 april

15 HPV vaccination program - monitoring Screening attendance by vaccinated women (England, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and Wales) Sweden (Herweijer et al, submitted): Registry linkage between the HPV vaccination registry and the national cervical screening registry (all women in Sweden). Screening attendance was 86% in vaccinated women and 75% in unvaccinated women. T Crude HR 1.31 (95% CI ) Adjustment for education and income: (HR adj =1.09, 95% CI ). Second screening round (3 years later): Similar results: (crude HR=1.26, 95% CI ; HR adj =1.15, 95% CI ). Namn Efternamn 21 april

16 Decrease of HPV in the population Samples from Chlamydia screening in Southern Sweden were HPV-tested samples from 2008, 5224 in 2012, and 5815 in 2013 Significant decrease in vaccine-types in women ages HPV type % reduction 6 7.0% 4.2% -40.0% % 8.7% -41.6% % 4.3% -45.6% Marginal decrease in type 18 among women ages and no decrease in older women for types 16 and 6 (only small changes in vaccination coverage) No other types decrease. Increase in types 52 and 56 Soderlund-Strand A, Uhnoo I, Dillner J. Change in Population Prevalences of Human Papillomavirus after Initiation of Vaccination: The High-Throughput HPV Monitoring Study. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev Elfström April 21,

17 Highly significant decline seen for major vaccine types post-vaccination (HPV16: -42% in vaccinated birth cohorts) n=9644 in 2008, n=1433 in 2012 and n=1383 in Joakim Dillner 21/04/

18 Australia: School vaccination yrs (80% attendance; start april 2007); organised in primary care yrs (54% attendance; start July 2007). 4 years later condylomas are disappearing (except among >30 yrs old and MSM). HPV infections are disappearing (Tabrizi et al, Lancet ID 2014).

19 HPV vaccination program - conclusions Organized vaccination programs work. Most robust if delivered at schools. Dis-organized vaccination programs have lower coverage and strong inequity. Effectiveness not routinely reported, but reported results so far are quite promising. With greater standardization of indicators, more valid comparisons between programs would be possible. Attention should be given to mapping emerging vaccination strategies so that effectiveness and success of these efforts can be compared and adjusted. Further changes are likely and should be captured through repeating international questionnaires at regular intervals. Namn Efternamn 21 april
