    Citation Excerpt :

    A recent study assessing trends in NIS-Teen data identified negative parental attitudes and a lack of knowledge about HPV vaccine recommendations as the primary reasons for non-vaccination of adolescents [8]. Examples of negative parental attitudes include concerns about HPV vaccine safety and side effects, backlash against HPV vaccine mandates, religious objections to vaccination, belief that HPV vaccination promotes sexual promiscuity in vaccinated adolescents, and low perceived risk of HPV infection or HPV-related cancers [4,8–11]. The presence of vaccine concerns can be worsened by the exposure to misinformation and false vaccine controversy [12,13] Hence, the proactive identification and mitigation of negative parental attitudes is critical for closing the gaps in HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents [14].

    In addition, almost all women reported that they would undergo cytopathological exams even after receiving the vaccine. This observation may temper concerns that vaccination against HPV is likely to decrease cervical cancer screening behaviors [30]. The strength of this study is the nationwide sampling, with the inclusion of a large and diverse population.

  • Early policy responses to the human papillomavirus vaccine in the united states, 2006-2010

    2014, Journal of Adolescent Health
    Citation Excerpt :

    Researchers have explored states' responses to the new HPV vaccine, but typically this has been analyzed in specific states or subsets of states [20,31]. Studies have also explored the ethical, legal, and political aspects of the HPV vaccine and the nature of the public debate around the vaccine [10–12,16,17,19,21]. Generally, discussion of the policy response to the new vaccine has focused on legislative proposals to mandate vaccination.
