17:15 – 18:45 AM EDT (GMT-4)
Chairs:
Aimée R. Kreimer (USA)

Background. Hundreds of millions of HPV vaccine doses have been administered globally. Post-marketing surveillance studies have confirmed initial observations in clinical trials of a strong safety record. Yet, concerns regarding the safety of the HPV vaccines continue to impede their use.
Learning Objectives. The main objective of this session is to understand the status of the safety data for HPV vaccines, and the different sources used to generate these data. Participants will learn to interpret results from safety analyses, and to discern true signals of concern from anecdotes and scare tactics. The specific objectives are to review and understand:
- Different sources of vaccine adverse event data, and the methodologic approaches used for analyzing the data;
- Rigorously collected and interpreted safety data from the USA, Australia and globally.
- Safety concerns regarding HPV vaccination in Japan; and,
- Distinguishing true safety concerns from anti-vaccine misinformation and appropriate messaging of vaccine safety data.
Presentations:
- Introduction to HPV Vaccine Monitoring
Suzanne Garland (Australia) - Vaccine Safety Monitoring by the WHO: approaches and results
Paul Bloem (Switzerland) - Vaccine Safety Monitoring in the USA: Approaches and Results
Lauri Markowitz (USA) - Vaccine Safety Monitoring in Australia: Approaches and Results Kristine Macartney (Australia)
