As one of the most severe malignant tumors, cervical cancer poses a significant threat to women. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the "Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer" in response to well-established tertiary prevention measures. Primary prevention measures prioritize health education and the administration of prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. China currently offers five HPV vaccines supported by extensive research data specific to the Chinese population. This paper discusses the application of HPV vaccines in China and related issues that need to be paid attention to.
