Abstract

Highlights
• 1,156,863 girls received first dose HPV vaccine between 2011 and 2018 in Rwanda.

• An initial school-grade-targeted catch-up transited to routine 12 yrs vaccination.

• Census-level coverage was 10–40% for girls born in 1993–1995, 50–65% for 1996–2000.

• Census-level coverage was 80–90% for 2001–2006 cohorts vaccinated at 12 years.

• Birth cohorts provide clearer picture of HPV vaccine coverage in Rwanda.
