“…Consistent with previous studies (Mishra et al, 2010;Alsaad et al, 2012;Chan et al, 2012;Paul et al, 2012;Tonguc et al, 2013), a lack of knowledge was identified in our study. About half of the parents knew about the link between HPV and cervical cancer, while less than half of them knew about the warning symptoms of cervical cancer.…”

“…Previous literature has indicated that parental attitudes toward the HPV vaccine are positive (Olshen et al, 2005;Jasper et al, 2011;Chan et al, 2012), while the intention to vaccinate their daughters against HPV and HPV vaccine acceptance is high (Becker-Dreps Eet al, 2010;Oh et al, 2010;Jasper et al, 2011;Chan et al, 2012;Coleman et al, 2012;Ortashi et al, 2014). Nevertheless, limited knowledge of the HPV vaccines was consistently identified in several studies (Mishra et al, 2010;Alsaad et al, 2012;Chan et al, 2012;Paul et al, 2012;Tonguc et al, 2013). To date, very little is known about the difference between bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines in terms of acceptance.…”

Background: This study aimed to examine the level of knowledge, attitude, acceptance, and willingness to pay (WTP) for HPV vaccination among female parents of girls aged 12-15 years in Thailand. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in eight schools across Bangkok. Results: Of 1,200 questionnaires sent out, a total of 861 questionnaires were received. Knowledge regarding the HPV vaccine among parents was quite low. Only half of the parents knew about the link between HPV and cervical cancer while one-third of them knew that the vaccine should be administered to the children before they become sexually active. Nevertheless, vaccine acceptance was high if it was offered for free: 76.9% for the bivalent and 74.4% for the quadrivalent vaccine. The proportion of respondents who were willing to copay for the vaccine if it was not totally free was also high, ranging from 68.9% for the bivalent to 67.3% for the quadrivalent vaccine. No significant difference between bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines in terms of prevalence of acceptance and willingness to pay was found. About one-third of the participants, who were willing to copay for the vaccine if it was not offered for free, indicated that they would copay less than 500 baht (30 baht = approx US$1) for three doses of bivalent vaccine. Conclusions: Substantial effort should be made to educate parents prior to introduction of a national HPV vaccination program. In terms of acceptance, either bivalent or quadrivalent vaccines can be recommended.

“…12 Similar results are obtained by EKOS research associates, Angelillo et al, Inamder et al, Zahrani JA and Mohammed A et al where parents (both mothers and fathers) with higher level of education had a better knowledge of vaccines. 2,3,7,13,14 In contrast, studies by Garrido C et al and Mapatano MA et al, showed that parental education does not influence the awareness regarding vaccination. 15,5 Study findings show a significant association between the parent's age (both fathers and mothers) and vaccination awareness among them.…”

“…However, religious beliefs alone are not effective on HPV vaccination; this may vary between different countries. A trial, performed in 2009 in Malaysia, reported that the physicians commonly recommended HPV vaccination for their patients and a trial, performed in 2011 in Indonesia, revealed that the parents commonly accepted the HPV vaccination while opposite results could be obtained from the trials in the United Arab Emirates and Syria (Wong et al, 2009;Jaspers et al, 2011;Ortashi et al, 2013;Alsaad et al, 2012). As is the case in many other trials, our trial also revealed that most of the participants (91.6%) thought that reduction of the HPV vaccine costs would decrease the frequency of vaccination (Kahn et al, 2005;Riedesel et al, 2005;Ozsurekci et al, 2013;Daley et al, 2006).…”

Background: To determine the level of knowledge on human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaccination, and the attitude towards HPV vaccination in pediatricians, obstetricians and gynecologists (OBG). Materials and Methods: Participants were administered a 40-question survey, investigating the demographic properties, the knowledge on the HPV infection-vaccination and attitudes towards vaccination. Results: The study enrolled a total of 228 participants (131 pediatricians and 97 OBGs). At a rate of 99.6%, the participants agreed with the fact that the HPV infection was the most common sexually transmitted disease and 33.8% of the participants had the opinion that the HPV vaccination should be administered only in women. The lowest level of HPV vaccine recommendation was among the pediatrics specialists (59.4%, p=0.012). When asked whether they would have their daughters receive HPV vaccination, 79.5% of the participants answered favorably; this rate was 36.7% for the sons. At a rate of 59.5% of the participants thought that the HPV vaccine needed to be included in the national vaccine schedule. Most of the participants (91.6%) had the idea that reduction of the vaccine costs would increase the vaccination frequency. Conclusions: We observed that the consideration of the costs and the prejudices relating to the inefficacy of vaccination as well as the inadequate level of knowledge were involved in the physicians' resistance to HPV vaccination. We believe that the healthcare professionals should be informed adequately to overcome false beliefs, thereby ensuring success of the HPV vaccine upon inclusion in the national vaccine schedule in the future.
