University of Lorraine Reports Findings in Human Papillomavirus Vaccines (Do boys have the same intentions to get the HPV vaccine as girls? Knowledge, attitudes, and intentions in France).

A study conducted by the University of Lorraine in France examined the knowledge, attitudes, and intentions of boys and girls regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The research found that HPV vaccine coverage remains low in France, and a significant percentage of boys do not feel concerned about the vaccine. The study highlights the importance of considering psychological factors in vaccination decisions, in addition to specific attitudes towards the HPV vaccine. The findings suggest the need for effective school-based interventions to improve vaccine coverage. [Extracted from the article]
