Description
Likkasittipan and Suprasert surveyed secondary school students in northern Thailand in 2023 about HPV vaccination, publishing in 2026. Pandemic disruption had stalled school vaccine programs and campaigns. The survey covered 600 students in grades 7 to 12 at six Chiang Mai schools. Vaccination status and HPV health literacy were both assessed.
Only about one in five students, 120 in total, reported receiving the HPV vaccine. Fewer than six in ten of those had completed the full course. Nearly all vaccinated students were girls, since supply came mainly from government programs aimed at them. Vaccinated students knew clearly more than unvaccinated ones. The gaps covered HPV's link to cervical cancer, vaccine benefit and safety, and whether vaccination is needed at all. Cost beliefs, government promotion, and pandemic effects also separated the groups.
