Parents with higher levels of knowledge were not more likely to obtain vaccination for themselves or their daughters.
PMID: Pediatrics. 2014 Oct ;134(4):e1049-56. Epub 2014 Sep 15. PMID: 25225141 Abstract Title: Parent and adolescent knowledge of HPV and subsequent vaccination. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been shown to have important health benefits, but vaccination rates are low. Parental and adolescent knowledge could possibly promote vaccination, but the relationship between knowledge and …
The cost effectiveness of a two-dose boy HPV vaccination is unlikely to be cost effective.
PMID: Vaccine. 2014 Oct 7 ;32(44):5845-53. Epub 2014 Aug 12. PMID: 25131743 Abstract Title: Comparing the cost-effectiveness of two- and three-dose schedules of human papillomavirus vaccination: a transmission-dynamic modelling study. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that two doses of HPV vaccines may be as protective as three doses in the short-term. We estimated the incremental …
The cost-effectiveness of an HPV vaccine catch-up program is below Norway’s willingness-to-pay threshold.
PMID: J Infect Dis. 2015 Jan 15 ;211(2):206-15. Epub 2014 Jul 23. PMID: 25057044 Abstract Title: Too late to vaccinate?
