Sex differences in parental reasons for lack of intent to initiate HPV vaccination among adolescents ages 13-17 years: National Immunization Survey – Teen 2019-2021
The main domain reported was vaccine misinformation. Parents of males were more likely to report all domains in 2021 compared to 2019, the inverse of females. These can be addressed through public health interventions such as launching media campaigns to combat vaccine misinformation tailored to parents of male adolescents.
