He says that he and his team are "trying to fill the void" left by publications that haven't addressed patients' questions about whether the vaccine can be used to treat infection. "We wanted to make it clear. The vaccine is not therapeutic," he says. "[The study] reinforces the greater utility of vaccinating young and adolescent girls before they initiate sexual activity because that's how you get the most benefit from this vaccine...
