Not to be pedantic, but is it the case this would only be a single injection? I believe that some vaccines can need repeat/regular treatments over a (relatively short I think) period of time.

If that were the case here it would make vaccination much harder, though still possible of course.

That's a fair point, but I still think that's an order of magnitude easier than changing life-long behavior regarding sex partners.
