Implication

Cross-sectional study finds low HPV vaccination rates in women aged ≥30, suggesting gaps in knowledge and access.

Key Points

  • Although awareness of HPV vaccination is moderate, actual completion rates are low among women aged ≥30.
  • Only 44.1% of participants thought the HPV vaccine should be given to men, indicating a knowledge gap.
  • Higher education and previous screening history were significantly associated with HPV vaccination uptake.
  • Misconceptions and concerns regarding side effects and screening post-vaccination were common barriers.
