Abstract

Many healthcare workers will be familiar with explaining the merits of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to patients. But few will be aware that in the USA, HPV vaccination is being recommended for certain healthcare workers at risk of occupational exposure, due to an emerging link between smoke-generating procedures on HPV-associated lesions, and upper aerodigestive tract disease. Is there enough evidence to justify the precautionary principle?
