Coverage of HPV Vaccination and Influencing Factors Among Female College Students in Northern China by Li Yang, Chen Xing, Xue Yu, Yanrui Xu, Weibing Wang, Caiyun Chang, Qingbin Lu

“…Notably, increased knowledge was associated with vaccine hesitancy in the WTG group (<i>OR</i> = 0.45, <i>p</i> < 0.001), indicating that information overload may adversely affect decision-making processes. Structural barriers, such as cost (42.63%), safety concerns (46.59%), and misconceptions (e.g., 57.76% cited “no sexual activity” as a reason for refusal), significantly impeded vaccine uptake. …”
