Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear authors, 

Your systematic review tackled an important topic regarding HPV vaccination and its cost-effectiveness. The paper was done according to PRISMA guidelines, but the PROSPERO number is missing. The introduction provides enough information regarding the topic; some letters are missing in some words (line 48, I think it is breast and not best; line 40, after 342,000, a word is missing, it seems the sentence is not finished). The material, method, and result parts are all okay. The data in the Figures is nicely presented. Discussion follows the results, limitations should be mentioned before the conclusion as a separate paragraph, and it seems like the final Conclusion/s are missing, the one that makes the point of the whole paper. 

Best regards,

Overall editing comment, please use the space before citing the reference.

ABSTRACT

The aim is stated:

 ‘This study aims to aid decision-makers in implementing the most effective prevention strategies in Indonesia’, is not well-formulated. Try ‘This study aimed to examine the existing prevention strategies and their effectiveness through systematic review of the existing literature.’

Introduction.

Line 39- put the reference number here as well at the end of the sentence

Line 42: Add some incidence rates

Line 43: Comparing to what % of the world population that this region presents?

Methods

As there are the results on the number of studies conducted in high and middle income countries, add the classification in the methods section. It is easier than for readers to follow. (after lines 115-117)

Results:

What would more dominant mean in this context? More frequently used? (lines 243-256)
