A Cross-sectional Descriptive Study to Assess the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Regarding Cancer Preventive Vaccines among Undergraduate Medical Students
To conclude, medical students did not have sufficient understanding of cancer prevention vaccination in nearly every area. Students rarely get the cancer preventive vaccine and have a reluctant attitude about them. Vaccination coverage is quite low and a variety of reasons, including misunderstandings, have affected medical students' acceptance of the HPV vaccine.
