Description
Bugra Gulle and co-authors pool what the Middle East knows and accepts about the HPV vaccine in a 2024 review. The virus drives most cervical cancer, yet many countries in the region lack national vaccine programs, and cultural views slow uptake. The team gathered 159 studies covering 93,730 people.
Awareness of the vaccine averaged about 42 percent, higher among health workers. Acceptance averaged about 46 percent, similar in health workers and the public. Most participants were women. The authors call for adding the vaccine to national schedules and tackling cultural and religious concerns head-on, since knowing about the vaccine is the first step to taking it.
