Brabin L et al. – Girls of this age form their own views on HPV vaccination but parental support for vaccination remains important, especially for completing the three doses. By discussing the vaccine, parents can encourage their daughters to determine the importance and implications of HPV vaccination
Methods- 12 to 13-year-old girls in two primary care trusts offered 3 doses of Cervarix (manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline)
- Letter was sent to 1084 parents who had consented to research follow-up
- It requested parents to pass questionnaire regarding HPV vaccination to their daughters to complete and post back in a prepaid envelope.
- 553 girls completed questionnaire
- 77% (422) had shared with their parents in the vaccine decision
- 42% (n=13) of girls, whose parents refused vaccination, stated that they wanted vaccine, whereas 10% (50) of those who were vaccinated did not want vaccine
- Although 54% (277) said the vaccine was very important to them, 39% (153) of vaccinated girls thought they might not recommend it to others
- Vaccine was perceived to be painful with exaggerated rumours of serious adverse events
- 79% (420) of girls agreed with statement that vaccination reminded them of risks of sexual contact, but 14% (73) agreed they might take more sexual risks because they had been vaccinated
