Parent-daughter agreement about HPV vaccination status in Kenya and Malawi
In countries where surveys will commonly be used to measure HPV vaccination status, we found very high agreement of parents/guardians with their daughters' reported receipt of the vaccine. These results are similar to findings from the literature about routine childhood vaccination measurement. This suggests that researchers, clinicians, and practitioners can use parent/guardian-reported HPV vaccination of their daughter as a relatively good proxy of her own reported immunization status especially in settings without universal use of vaccination cards or registries.
