Abstract

The aims of this study were to evaluate parents' awareness about HPV infection and vaccination and to identify reasons for not accepting vaccination and the type of health professionals involved in information campaigns. The study involved three schools. Overall, 1200 questionnaires were distributed to parents of female students born between 1993 and 2000 (age 12 to 19 years at the time of the study). The majority of students accepted to be vaccinated. Parents received information from different sources.
