Acceptance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among the parents of eligible daughters (9–15 years) in Bangladesh: A nationwide study using Health Belief Model
Our study found a reasonably good level of acceptance of the HPV vaccine among the parents of eligible daughters. Multiple factors such as younger age, urban residence, belonging to the middle income group, history of regular routine health check-ups, knowledge of cervical cancer, positive perception about benefits of the vaccine, and positive cues to actions were associated with HPV vaccine acceptance.
