The aim of this study was to describe preliminary performance indicators of the cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination integrated strategy, offered to women aged 25 years residing in the province of Foggia (Apulia, Italy). During the two-year period 2015-16, receiving HPV vaccination, first dose and/or the full vaccination series, was significantly associated with compliance to screening (p<0,0001) in the first two birth cohorts (1991 and 1992 cohorts) targeted by this integrated strategy.
