- The study aimed to assess the additional costs involved in delivering HPV vaccinations to young girls in Peru, Uganda, and Viet Nam, using various delivery methods like school-based and health-center-based approaches.
- Data was collected through microcosting methods, focusing on resources used in demonstration projects, and delivery costs were expressed in US dollars, excluding vaccine and project-specific expenses.
- Findings indicated that delivery costs per dose varied from $1.44 in Uganda to $3.88 in Peru, with integrated delivery methods generally resulting in lower costs compared to traditional vaccination methods.
This study investigates the effect of communication strategies on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in HPV vaccine demonstration projects in Uganda and Vietnam. Secondary analysis was conducted on data from surveys of a representative sample of parents and guardians of girls eligible for HPV vaccine, measuring three-dose coverage achieved in demonstration projects in 2008-2010. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis calculated the unadjusted and adjusted odds of receiving at least one dose of HPV vaccine depending on exposure to community influencers; information, education, and communication (IEC) channels; and demographic factors.
