for any service provided pursuant to subsection 1. 3. A plan of self-insurance described in subsection 1 which is delivered, issued for

delivery or renewed on or after July 1, 2007, has the legal effect of including the

coverage required by subsection 1, and any provision of the plan which is in conflict

with subsection 1 is void. 4. For the purposes of this section, “ human papillomavirus vaccine ” means the Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Recombinant Vaccine or its successor

which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of human

papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer.
