Assessment on the Uptake of HPV Vaccine in School Girls aged 9-14 in Kigoma Ujiji MC. Research Proposal

Research Paper (postgraduate) , 2022 , 15 Pages

Health - Children and adolescents

The objective of the proposed study is to assess factors associated with low uptake of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine in school girls aged 14 in Kigoma Ujiji Municipal Council.

The uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine among school girls aged 9–14 years remains a global challenge, despite the vaccine against HPV that was made available in 2006 and was recommended by the World Health Organization in 2009. For example, global HPV vaccine coverage among girls aged 9–14 years in 2019 remained 15% for full vaccination, which was below the nation’s goal of 80% coverage. Also, studies in other countries like France demonstrate the uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine still remains low. Other studies in the US also demonstrated that series of completion of HPV vaccine for younger adolescents remain below the nation’s goal of 80% coverage. Low-income and middle-income countries introduced HPV vaccination in national immunization schedules, but coverage was often low.
