“…This was in line with the study conducted in Thailand (60%.0%) and the UK (54.8%) 30 31. This result was higher than the study conducted in Malaysia,32 Iran (24%)33 and in Africa (37%)3; but lower than the study conducted in Romania (85.8%)34 and Italy(69.9%) 35. The variation might be due to differences in the study setting, study population, and period of the study, the availability and distribution of the HPV vaccine among countries.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the knowledge and acceptability of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and associated factors among female adolescent students in Debre Tabor Town, Ethiopia, 2021.DesignCross-sectional study was done from 9 December 2020 to 28 February 2021.AnalysisThe data were entered into EpiData V.4.2 and analysed with SPSS V.23 software. The OR, 95% CI and p<0.05 were used to determine the bivariable and multivariable statistical association.SettingThree high schools (grades 9 and 10) and six primary schools (grades 7 and 8) were included in the study.ParticipantsAdolescent female students in Debre Tabor Town.ResultsThe overall knowledge score in the questionnaire was six, and it was divided into two groups based on scoring level: poor (score <3) and good (score ≥3). More than half respondents (59.2%) scored good knowledge. The proportion of acceptability of the HPV vaccine was 61.9%. Age (adjusted OR, AOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.17 to 3.88), and having a source of information (AOR 1.94, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.22) were significantly associated with the knowledge of the HPV vaccine. Place of birth (AOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.95), fathers’ educational status (AOR 2.80, 95% CI 1.18 to 5.65), having a source of information (AOR 2.14, 95% CI 1.05 to 4.32) and knowledge about the HPV vaccine (AOR 6.41, 95% CI 3.45 to 11.90) were significantly associated with the acceptance of the female adolescent HPV vaccine.ConclusionIn this study, the knowledge and acceptability of students of the HPV vaccine were low. Health authorities, through the mass media, should strengthen HPV vaccine promotion in schools, religious institutions and health facilities.

In Malaysia, the HPV immunization program has been introduced since 2010 as part of the national immunization plan for female students aged 13 years old. It was a very successful immunization program with good responses from students and parents until the start of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the schools to be closed and resulted about 225000 female students aged 13 years old either missed their vaccination or have incomplete doses of HPV vaccination in 2020 and 2021. This could possibly lead to an increase in cases of cervical cancer and genital warts in the upcoming years. Hence, a wellorganized catch-up HPV vaccination program is vital in ensuring the aim of achieving zero HPV-related infections in the future.

“…Research (Chew, 2021) on students who have received vaccines, knowledge of HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention has poor knowledge about Pap smears and does not consider regular Pap smears as an important cervical cancer screening tool after HPV vaccination, so further health education is still needed to increase perception and knowledge about HPV infection and prevention of cervical cancer in adolescents in the community. Another study by (Fernandes, 2018) stated that the prevalence of immunization with at least 1 dose of the HPV vaccine was 49% in the study population.…”

Background: University students are the key population to be prioritized in terms of uptake and coverage of the HPV vaccine. HPV program policies have recently shifted to target pre- and early pubertal adolescents before the age of 13 years. Evidence shows that adolescents aged 13 and over are less likely to complete the HPV vaccine series. Currently, 23 million young adults aged 19-26 years are not vaccinated. In 2016, only 16% of unvaccinated children aged 13 to 17 years received both doses. In addition, adolescents are less likely to start the HPV vaccine as they age, with only 7% initiation after age 15. Such lower vaccination rates raise the need for an effective follow-up vaccination strategy that targets young populations beyond the recommended adult vaccination schedule. In fact, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization practices recently recommended expanding the vaccination age range to 26 for both men and women, and for clinicians to engage in shared decision-making with older patients (ages 27-45) who might benefit of its use. Method: This article using method literature review. It is use selected journals or articles according to the author’s criteria and analyzing them to produce a conclusion. Authors using two international database is Pubmed and Sciencedirect with the keyword “knowledge and attitudes”, “students”, and “HPV vaccine”. The analysis of the articles used is based on the publication time span of the last 5 years (2018- 2022). The type of journal used is original, full text, and open access. The design of this article was taken using case control and cross-sectional methods. Result: The result of a literature search on database by Pubmed and Sciencedirect, there are 407 journals according to keywords and time spans. There are 122 journals from Pubmed and 285 journals from Sciencedirect. Authors filtered by the title, abstract, method, and result to find relevancy between knowledge and attitudes of students to HPV Vaccine. Total of 20 articles related to this article. Conclusion: On average, studies from various journals state that their findings have a lot to do with knowledge and attitudes towards the HPV vaccine, so it is advisable to further promote this knowledge so that there will be more students’ positive attitudes towards the HPV vaccine.
