The Minister of Health requested the CNEIV-CI to obtain its opinion on adopting a single-dose HPV vaccination schedule in the EPI in Côte d'Ivoire. Such a vaccination schedule presents economic advantages for the country and mainly operational advantages for the EPI. The objective of our study was to clarify the opinion of the CNEIV-CI on the single-dose HPV vaccination schedule. A literature review was used to collect the evidence. After analysing the evidence on cancers induced by HR-HPV in Côte d'Ivoire, HPV genotypes circulating in the country, characteristics of the HPV vaccine, routine HPV vaccination coverage in Côte d'Ivoire, efficacy according to the HPV vaccination schedule (single dose or multi-dose), socioeconomic and ethical considerations, and programmatic and operational aspects, the CNEIV-CI recommended the single-dose HPV vaccination schedule in the EPI in Côte d'Ivoire. Strategies such as school vaccination and vaccination campaigns must be implemented to achieve 80 % minimum coverage for the HPV vaccine so that adopting this vaccination schedule is beneficial from a public health perspective. The successful implementation of these strategies requires raising awareness among parents because the target audience for the vaccine is adolescents whose parents are responsible for deciding on their vaccination.
