Overview

Household survey shows differences in HPV vaccine attitudes by education and gender, suggesting tailored promotion is needed.

Key Points

  • 39.0% of parents reported their daughters received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, indicating suboptimal uptake.
  • Parents with secondary education displayed more concerns about vaccine safety and lower HPV-related knowledge, pointing to misinformation.
  • Household survey conducted in three districts of Malawi featured parents of girls aged 9–13 years, highlighting social and educational dimensions.
  • Finding differences in attitudes suggests targeted interventions could enhance HPV vaccine acceptance in Malawi.
