HPV vaccine: uptake and understanding among global Indigenous communities – a qualitative systematic review
Abstract Background Indigenous populations have a high prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and a high incidence of HPV associated cancers, such as cervical and oropharyngeal cancer. There is an effective HPV vaccination program in almost all developed countries to prevent the incidenc...
