  • Only 20.5% of young girls knew about the HPV vaccine, with many caregivers unaware of its benefits.
  • Analysis used a quantitative questionnaire guided by the PEN-3 Cultural model to assess perceptions of the HPV vaccine.
  • Highlights the need for increased awareness and education to address vaccine hesitancy and improve uptake.
