To the Editor: We refer to a recently published article that shows a new Bayesian method, applied to assess a vaccination strategy preventing human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases. The article basically describes a model for the economic evaluation of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine in Italy, concluding that it is a costeffective strategy.
