The primary hypothesis is that a 2-dose regimen has a non-inferiority margin of 0.67 in the GMT ratio (girls vs. women) for each HPV type.

Stage I: Competitive Luminex immunoassay (cLIA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) to 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine Timeframe: One month after last dose (Up to Month 13) cLIA GMT to each of 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine. The GMT for each HPV type will be reported in mMU/mL. 2. Stage II: cLIA GMTs to 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine in girls 9 through 14 years of age Timeframe: Up to Month 84 cLIA GMT to each of 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine in girls 9 through 14 years of age. The GMT for each HPV type will be reported in mMU/mL. 3. Stage II: cLIA seropositivity percentages to 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine in girls 9 through 14 years of age Timeframe: Up to Month 84 cLIA seropositivity to each of 9 vaccine types of 9vHPV vaccine in girls 9 through 14 years of age. The percentage of participants who are seropositive for each HPV type will be summarized. ### Secondary outcomes 1.

The percentage of participants who are seropositive for each HPV type will be summarized. 4. Stage I: Percentage of participants experiencing solicited injection-site adverse events (AEs) Timeframe: Day 1 through Day 8 following any study vaccination An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study vaccine or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study vaccine or protocol-specified procedure. Solicited injection-site AEs such as erythema, swelling, pain, and induration at the injection site will be recorded. 5. Stage I: Percentage of participants experiencing solicited systemic AEs Timeframe: Day 1 through Day 8 following any study vaccination An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study vaccine or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study vaccine or protocol-specified procedure. Systemic AEs are those not categorized as injection-site AEs. 6. Stage I: Percentage of participants experiencing serious AEs (SAEs) Up to Month 13 Timeframe: Up to Month 13 A SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event. 7. Stage II: Percentage of participants experiencing SAEs Up to Month 84 Timeframe: Month 18 up to Month 84 A SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event. 8.
