(Female participants only) Is pregnant as determined by a serum pregnancy test or urine pregnancy test that is sensitive to 25 mIU/mL ß-hCG. 12. (Female participants only) Is expecting to donate eggs during the intervention period of the study. 13. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, lab abnormality or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study, or interfere with the participant’s participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate by judgment of investigator. 14. Has received within 12 months prior to enrollment, is receiving, or plans to receive during the study, the following immunosuppressive therapies: radiation therapy, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, any chemotherapy, cyclosporin, leflunomide (AravaTM), TNF-a antagonists, monoclonal antibody therapies (including rituximab [Rituxan™]), IVIG, antilymphocyte sera, or other therapy known to interfere with the immune response. Regarding systemic corticosteroids, a participant will be excluded if he/she is currently receiving steroid therapy, has recently (defined as within 2 weeks of Day 1 vaccination) received such therapy, or has received 2 or more courses of corticosteroids lasting at least 1 week in duration in the year prior to Day 1 vaccination. Participants using inhaled, nasal, or topical steroids are considered eligible for the study. 15. Has received within the 3 months prior to th

| Main Objective: 1.In a population who are seronegative to the relevant human papilloma virus (HPV) type at Day 1, to demonstrate that administration of a 2-dose regimen of 9-valent human papilloma virus vaccine (9vHPV) vaccine in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age induces noninferior Competitive Luminex Immunoassay (cLIA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) of antibodies to each of the 9vHPV vaccine types compared with young women 16 to 26 years of age receiving a 3-dose regimen of the same vaccine at Day1, Month 2, and Month 6. 2.In 10-to 15-year old boys and girls who received a single dose of 9vHPV vaccine at least 1 year prior to enrollment, to characterize the immune response to a second dose of 9vHPV vaccine (as measured by cLIA GMTs of antibodies to each of the 9vHPV vaccine types) at 4 weeks post dose 2 taking into account the time interval between administration of doses 1 and 2. 3.To evaluate the safety of administering the 9vHPV vaccine based on the dosing regimens investigated in this study.;Secondary Objective: 1. Cohorts 1-5*: To estimate seroconversion at 4 weeks post last dose to each of the HPV Types 6, 11,16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 (percent of participants seropositive at 4 weeks post last dose). 2.

Cohorts 1-5*: To estimate persistence of anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 cLIA GMTs observed at 4 weeks post last dose at yearly time intervals relative to time of last dose, through 3 years post last dose. *Cohort 1: 9-14 year olds receiving 2 doses 12 months apart; Cohort 2: 9-13 year olds receiving 2 doses 24 months apart; Cohort 3: 9-12 year olds receiving 2 doses 36 months apart; Cohort 4: 9-10 year olds receiving 2 doses 60 months apart; and Cohort 5: 16-26 ye | — |
