Parents and school HPV uptake
These passages occur verbatim in the stored paper text. They support the points listed below; they do not verify every statement in the explanation.
2,025 of 4,031 eligible parents completed the survey (50.2%).
Of the remaining 4,031 eligible to complete the survey, 2,025 parents agreed to complete the survey (50.2%).
65.1% reported daughters received first HPV dose.
Respondents were representative of the population distribution of grade 6 girls in health authorities in the province, and 1,318 (65.1%; 95% CI 63.1–67.1) of parents in the survey reported that their daughters had received the first dose of the HPV vaccine.
Key findings
2,025 parents responded (50.2%); 65.1% reported HPV dose 1 vs ~88% hepatitis B and ~86% meningitis C consent in the same program, showing residual hesitancy despite free access.
Methodology
Researchers telephoned a random sample of parents of grade-6 girls eligible for publicly funded school HPV vaccination and analyzed factors associated with vaccine receipt.
Limitations
Self-reported receipt may misclassify doses, and two health areas lacking the registry were excluded.
