WHO vaccine advisory panel SAGE recommended Tuesday that countries consider routine HPV vaccination for girls as young as four if it improves lagging uptake, as global coverage sits at 33 percent against a 90 percent target. Experts affirmed a single-dose regimen for girls aged 9 to 14 while endorsing expanded catch-up doses to combat cervical cancer globally.
