  1. V =Vaccine effectiveness.
  2. C = Vaccination coverage.
  3. S = Screening uptake.
  4. E = Baseline lifetime screening sensitivity (the sensitivity of the screening program).
  5. δPv = Proportional change in the risk of infections caused by vaccine strains which would cause cervical cancer if nether prevented nor detected.
  6. δPu = Proportional change in the risk of infections caused by non-vaccine strains which would cause cervical cancer if nether prevented nor detected.
  7. δS =Proportional change in screening uptake.
  8. δE = Proportional change in lifetime screening sensitivity.
