In addition to neutralizing antibodies, vaccination elicits other immune mechanisms that may influence viral persistence and disease progression. Because mucosal immunity is closely linked to the vaginal microbiota, microbial composition may also play an important role in HPV susceptibility, with\n                      <jats:italic>Lactobacillus crispatus<\/jats:italic>\n                      dominance associated with protection, and dysbiosis with impaired mucosal immunity.
