Improving HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents in low resource settings: Sociocultural and socioeconomic barriers and facilitators
Open accessAbstract
Background: Lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately impacted by human papillomavirus (HPV) and would benefit from implementing the HPV vaccine. In the context of competing health priorities, utilizing scarce domestic infrastructure and human resources for HPV vaccination remains challenging for many LMICs. Given the high benefits of the HPV vaccine, the World Health Organization (WHO) is now encouraging for all countries, particularly LMICs, to introduce HPV vaccines into their routine immunization programs. Understanding the barriers and facilitators to HPV adolescent vaccine programs in LMICs may help strengthen how LMICs implement HPV vaccine programs, in turn, increasing HPV vaccine acceptance, uptake, and coverage. Objective: To identify and assess barriers and facilitators to implementing adolescent HPV vaccination programs in LMICs. Methods: This study comprised a review of literature assessing adolescent HPV vaccination in LMICs published after 2020 from a sociocultural perspective. Results: Overall, the findings showed that LMICs should prioritize increasing HPV vaccine availability and HPV vaccine knowledge, particularly focusing on cancer prevention, as knowledge reduces misinformation and increases vaccine acceptance. Evidence suggests that factors promoting HPV vaccine uptake include fostering low vaccine hesitancy, integrating HPV vaccination as a primary school routine vaccination, and vaccinating both genders. A one-dose HPV vaccine may enable many LMICs to increase vaccine acceptance, uptake, and coverage while controlling financial, infrastructure, and human resource costs. Conclusion: As HPV is one of the leading causes of death in many LMICs, implementing the HPV vaccine may be highly beneficial. Cohesive national HPV vaccine buy-in and understanding the success and challenges of prior LMIC HPV vaccine implementation is crucial to developing effective, efficient, and sustainable HPV vaccination programs.

Physicians in rural and semi-urban India remain under-utilized for HPV vaccination, a challenge echoed in other LMICs.
“However, physicians in rural and semi-urban India remain under-utilized, a challenge echoed in other LMICs49,53.”
From Barriers to HPV vaccination among adolescent girls in India: A scoping review (2026) · cites this paper as [49]
The Results (Cost-Benefit Perception and Attitudes; page unavailable) say that adolescents use health services minimally in most LMICs and often lack a primary care doctor or nurse. This supports a broader LMIC access challenge, but the paper does not establish that physicians are under-utilized for HPV vaccination in rural or semi-urban India. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn China and Turkey, parental understanding does not necessarily convert into HPV vaccine adoption unless combined with affordability and trustworthy healthcare communication.
“Similar issues have been identified in countries such as China and Turkey, where parental understanding does not necessarily convert into vaccine adoption unless combined with affordability and trustworthy healthcare communication49,50.”
From Barriers to HPV vaccination among adolescent girls in India: A scoping review (2026) · cites this paper as [49]
The Discussion (page not provided) links affordability, community knowledge and vaccine acceptance, while the Results section on caregivers links trustworthy healthcare communication to consent. These passages support the general point that understanding alone may not ensure uptake, but they do not establish it for parents in China and Turkey. Turkey appears in a reference to nursing students, not in a finding about parental vaccine adoption. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
