The amazing thing about HPV vaccination is not only that they've seen a huge drop in HPV rates in people who got the vaccine, but also that they've started to see a massive drop in infection rates among people who don't have the vaccinations. It looks like herd immunity for HPV was a pretty low bar to jump. That's pretty exciting.
