> Infection with HPV types covered by the vaccine (HPV16/18) has been almost eliminated. Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV16/18 was between 15–17%, which has decreased in vaccinated women to < 1% by 2021. However, about one-third of women still had HPV infection with non-vaccine high-risk HPV types, and new infections with these types were more frequent in vaccinated than in unvaccinated women.

I wonder if we'll those non-vaccine strains will eventually become the most prevalent.

Sounds like in countries like Denmark, they are already on their way to becoming the most prevalent.

Hope we'll develop vaccines against those too.

		In my EU country Gardasil 9 is the most common HPV vaccine nowadays. This protects against 9 most common strains. I would assume the same is true in other countries. We have gone from HPV 16/18 -> +6/11 -> +31/33/45/52/58 protection with 2/4/9-valent vaccines. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPV_vaccine
