A living systematic review on anti-HIV, anti-TB and anti-malarial drug unavailability and their impact on infection management
HPV and of the vaccine, with vaccine conspiracy beliefs negatively influencing their willingness to vaccinate.This study corroborates some of our findings.Similarly, a study among Syrian mothers showed that they had little knowledge and negative responses towards HPV vaccination, primarily due to lack of information, fear of side effects, and distrust of health authorities (Al Saad and Jadoo 2018).Conclusion: Any HPV vaccination promotion campaign in Kuwait should address the lack of knowledge, the stigma of promiscuity, perceived barriers, such as misconceptions regarding side-effects of the vaccination, and other health beliefs of parents.Importantly, it should use the trust that parents place in Kuwaiti health authorities and especially the evidence that parents of daughters would be more open to cues-to-action to vaccinate.
