CURRENT TRENDS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HPV VACCINES IN VIETNAM:A LITERATURE REVIEW

Our study described the phased implementation of HPV vaccination programs targeting adolescent girls and next expansion efforts, which achieved high coverage rates in pilot areas through school-based and health center-based strategies. Despite these successes, the overall vaccination uptake remains low with the barriers such as financial constraints, logistical difficulties, and cultural barriers. Clinical trials have confirmed the vaccine's high efficacy and safety, consistent with global data. Key advancements in the program include leveraging school infrastructure for vaccine delivery and integrating the HPV vaccine into the National Expanded Program on Immunization. Effective communication strategies and robust community engagement have been pivotal in addressing misconceptions and increasing acceptance. During this literature review, we systematically searched for scientific articles and related documents from online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, selecting studies related to the development and implementation of HPV vaccines in Vietnam. Articles lacking sufficient data or relevance to the research topic were excluded. In the future, continued efforts should focus on sustainable funding, public awareness, and logistical improvements to enhance vaccine accessibility, particularly in remote regions. International partnerships and adherence to global best practices are also crucial for further progress. This review underscores the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to mitigate HPV-related disease burdens in Vietnam, offering valuable insights for global public health initiatives
