Abstract

Introduction: The knowledge that persistent Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer has resulted in the development of prophylactic vaccines to prevent HPV infection and HPV assays that detect nucleic acids of the virus. Thus, effective protection is to provide HPV vaccination in young women (<12 years). Besides the child wanting to be vaccinated, the intention of the parents is also very important in deciding whether their girls are going to be vaccinated against HPV or not. The purpose of this study was to determine factors related to parents’ intention to vaccinate Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) for their daughters aged 11-12 years.
