Abstract

Human Papilloma virus has been related not only to 98% of cervical cancers but also to mouth and throat cancers. There is a vaccine that prevents contraction of this virus: HPV vaccine. This vaccine although proven effective and safe there are still children who have not received the vaccine, mainly due to myths and misconceptions that parents have about the vaccine. The purpose of this project was to demystify the myths and provide parents with real knowledge about the vaccine.
