Abstract Background Current vaccination coverage of Human Papillomavirus vaccine (HPVV) in Japan is less than 1% because the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) suspended its proactive recommendations for HPVV in 2013 after some reports of possible adverse events following immunization. We evaluated the perception of Japanese physicians about HPVV in order to consider the appropriate countermeasure to improve HPVV coverage in Japan. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using a postal questionnaire targeting 330 Japanese physicians (78 pediatricians, 225 internists and 27 obstetricians-gynecologists (OB-GYNs)) in Kawasaki, Japan in 2016. The questionnaire comprised questions about education frequency, physicians’ perception and recommendation behavior related to adolescent vaccines (HPVV, diphtheria tetanus toxoid (DT) and inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV)). Results Valid responses were obtained from 148 (44.9%) physicians (pediatricians 80.8%, internists 31.6% and OB-GYNs 51.9%). Very few (8.0%) of physicians provided HPVV during the past month. Only 21.3% of physicians educated aggressively about HPVV, which was significantly less frequently than DT (61.7%) and IIV (88.6%). Similarly, 53.1% of physicians recommended HPVV aggressively, which was significantly less frequently than DT (83.1%) and IIV (80.3%). We found no significant differences in the frequency of HPVV education or recommendation by pediatricians, internists and OB/GYNs (22.4% vs. 16.9% vs. 35.7% and 54.8% vs. 47.9% vs. 71.5%, respectively). However, 90.0% of physicians answered that if MHLW were to reinstate its HPVV recommendation, they would more aggressively recommend HPVV for adolescents. Conclusion Although Japanese physicians were cautious about HPVV and infrequently provided education or made a recommendation for HPVV compared with other adolescent vaccines, our survey suggested such a passive attitude could be improved by the MHLW resuming its proactive recommendation in Japan.

Abstract Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among females in Ethiopia. The knowledge regarding human papillomavirus vaccination and its acceptability among adolescent girls affects the human papillomavirus vaccine uptake, however, the status of knowledge of the human papillomavirus vaccination among adolescent girls in Ethiopia, particularly in this study area is not well known. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the knowledge of human papillomavirus vaccination and associated factors among primary school girls in Arba Minch town, South Ethiopia, 2020. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study in which 516 school girls participated was conducted on January 24, 2020. The study participants were selected by a simple random sampling technique. A pre-tested and self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was entered to Epi_data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS Version 23 for analysis. The logistic regression model was used to identify the statistically significant variables for knowledge of the human papillomavirus vaccination. Results: The overall knowledge level of the study participants in this study was 71.7%. Their main information source was social media 41.74% followed by health care workers 29.69%. Conclusions: Nearly three-fourths of the study participants were knowledgeable about human papillomavirus vaccination. The knowledge about the human papillomavirus vaccination shows a positive association with age, education level, access to information sources, and parents' educational status.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the factors associated with adolescent compliance with the human papillomavirus vaccine. Method: this is a cross-sectional study, developed through a school survey, in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, whose data collection occurred in 2018. A scale was used to assess decision-making, attitudes, feelings and knowledge about the human papillomavirus, in addition to a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic, economic and vaccination status data. The variables were submitted to the multivariate model of logistic regression to explain factors associated with vaccination adeforemen. Results: the study sample consisted of 624 adolescents, 15 years old, attending the first year of high school, of which 22.8% received the human papillomavirus vaccine. Being male decreases the chance of complying with the vaccine by 50% (aOR=0.05). Moreover, disagreeing or disagreeing with or disagreeing with parents to make the decision to vaccinate their children also reduced the chances of vaccination by 66% (aOR=0.34), respectively, as well as disagreeing with or disagreeing that men do not take human papillomavirus, minimized the chances of vaccination complying with vaccination by 66% (aOR=0.34), when compared to those who disagreed with this statement. Conclusion: low adolescent compliance with human papillomavirus vaccine was identified. Adolescents remain susceptible to diseases related to the human papillomavirus. Therefore, vaccination strategies need to be rethought, with the offer of vaccination in schools, mediated by educational campaigns.

We aimed to assess awareness, knowledge, and attitudes of healthy pregnant women towards human papillomavirus (HPV), to estimate factors associated with a positive attitude towards HPV immunization and to assess the uptake of the vaccine among their children. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the University Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Belgrade, Serbia among pregnant women attending their regular gynecological check-ups at the 12th gestational week. Knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccine was assessed using a specifically designed 12-item and 5-item questionnaires. Out of total 265 included women, 79.3% had heard of HPV, and 37.5% knew that HPV vaccine exists. HPV vaccine knowledge score was associated with higher odds for a positive attitude towards vaccination of both female (OR = 4.10, 95% CI 1.50-11.29) and male (OR = 3.71, 95% CI 1.52-9.01) child. The number of children (OR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.04-1.67) and high vaccine knowledge score (OR = 1.64 95% CI 1.13-2.39) were independent predictors associated with willingness to vaccinate child against HPV. The gynecologist was the preferable point of reference for information seeking about the HPV vaccine. Despite relatively high HPV awareness and knowledge among pregnant women in Serbia, about one-third of them are HPV vaccine aware, and are willing to vaccinate their children against HPV.
