Abstract
⺠Little is known about HPV knowledge in vaccinated cohorts of girls in the UK. ⺠We surveyed girls in the first vaccinated cohort, three years after vaccination. ⺠Knowledge was low, with a fifth unaware of HPV. ⺠Many girls were unaware of the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer, and the need for cervical screening post-vaccination. ⺠There will be a need for targeted information when this cohort reaches screening age.
