HPV vaccination among French girls and women aged 14-23 years and the relationship with their mothers' uptake of Pap smear screening: A study in general practice

Two years after the start of the programme, only half of girls/women aged 14-23 years had begun the process of HPV vaccination. HPV vaccination status was correlated with PSS in the mother, family status and hepatitis B vaccination. Such information may help to better target girls who are less likely to be vaccinated.
