  This paper is of interest to researchers and policy makers involved in cervical cancer prevention. The paper provides insight into how the Covid19 pandemic accelerated changes in organized cervical cancer screening. The claim that self-sampling led to a major improvement of test coverage seems somewhat exaggerated and alternative hypotheses to those provided by the authors on the population who chose self-sampling are possible. Nonetheless, this is a valuable piece of work given the scope of the intervention(s) and the precedent it sets i.e. a crisis can in fact accelerate positive changes in screening that have been academic possibilities rather than practical realities.

  The study presents important findings for public health authorities and policymakers to enable them to make evidence-based decisions when deciding on how to manage the effect of HPV vaccination disruptions. This study is particularly relevant in light of the efforts of the WHO to achieve global elimination of cervical cancers. The findings are convincing and the model used is appropriate.
