“…Similar to findings from another study, 17 we found that pediatricians expressed positive attitudes toward HPV vaccine, with over 50% reporting it to be safe and over one-third reporting it to be effective. Despite this, our study shows that only 46% of pediatricians report using it routinely or selectively.…”

“…When physicians were asked to rate the most important features of a vaccine, responses included high levels of efficacy and safety. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In light of the multiple barriers to vaccine introduction, Indian healthcare provider confidence in the efficacy and safety of these vaccines is critically important. Pediatricians are influential opinion leaders at the national and state levels and also have an important voice in local communities.…”

Background: New vaccine introduction is important to decrease morbidity and mortality in India. The goal of this study was to identify perceptions that are associated with administration of four selected vaccines for prevention of Japanese encephalitis (JE), typhoid fever, influenza and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.Methods: A random sample of 785 pediatricians from a national list of Indian Academy of Pediatrics members was selected for a survey to assess perceptions of vaccine effectiveness and safety, and vaccine administration practices. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with selective or routine use.Results: Pediatricians reported administering typhoid (91.6%), influenza (60.1%), HPV (46.0%) and JE (41.9%) vaccines selectively or routinely. Pediatricians who perceived the vaccine to be safe were significantly more likely to report administration of JE (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.3 to 5.3), influenza (OR 4.3, 95% CI 2.0 to 9.6) and HPV vaccine (OR 6.2, 95% CI 3.1 to 12.7). Pediatricians who perceived the vaccine to be effective were significantly more likely to report administration of JE (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.6 to 6.5), influenza (OR 7.7, 95% CI 2.5 to 23.1) and HPV vaccine (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.6 to 6.4) Conclusion: Understanding the role perceptions play provides an opportunity to design strategies to build support for vaccine use.

“…It is possible that since the HPV vaccine is costly and the government of Nepal has no immediate plans to subsidize the vaccine, older women were not aware of it and/or the doctors may not have discussed it with them. This was found to be true in a 2010 study in the Indian city of Mysore, which determined that physicians were reluctant to recommend the HPV vaccine to patients because they believed it would not be well received (Krupp et al, 2010).…”

“…This was similar to an earlier report which concluded that some young women in Malaysia were reluctant to consult healthcare providers on the HPV vaccination (Wong, 2008). Also a study conducted in Mysore, India (Krupp et al, 2010) showed that most of the Physicians believed that most of their patients would not respond positively to a vaccination recommendation.…”

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and oncogenic HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. However, HPV vaccination is already available as the primary preventive method against cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of HPV vaccination among Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Malaya (UM) students. This study was conducted from March until August 2009. Pre-tested and validated questionnaires were filled by the third year UKM (n=156) and UM (n=149) students from medical, dentistry and pharmacy faculties. The results showed that the overall level of knowledge on HPV infection, cervical cancer and its prevention among respondents was high and the majority of them had positive attitude towards HPV vaccination. Medical students had the highest level of knowledge (p<0.05). Very few students (3.6%) had already taken the vaccine with no significant difference between the two Universities (p=0.399). In conclusion, the knowledge and attitude of the respondents were high and positive, respectively. Only few students took HPV vaccination. Thus, more awareness campaigns and HPV vaccination services should be provided at universities' campuses with the price of the HPV vaccine reduced for the students.
