John Schiller, who along with Douglas Lowy received the 2017 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, provides an overview of HPV virus and infection, compares the three FDA approved vaccines against HPV, and explains the endpoints used in the clinical trials to prove vaccine efficacy. Schiller also discusses the high efficacy of HPV vaccine, which is exceptionally good at producing neutralizing antibodies and also benefits from the low mutation rate of HPV.
