HPV Vaccine

This study evaluates whether different types of digital health communication can increase parents' intention to vaccinate their daughters against human papillomavirus (HPV) in Nigeria. HPV vaccination is recommended for girls aged 9-14 years and helps prevent cervical cancer, yet vaccination rates remain low. Parents of eligible, unvaccinated girls will be randomly assigned to receive one of several types of digital content delivered online. These include: (1) a short chatbot conversation based on motivational interviewing principles, (2) an interactive game designed to help parents recognize and resist common forms of vaccine misinformation, (3) a set of short edutainment videos about HPV vaccination, (4) standard informational infographics about HPV vaccination from a national public health agency, or (5) unrelated health content about menstruation. The main outcome is parents' self-reported intention to vaccinate their daughter against HPV, measured immediately and one week after exposure to the assigned content. Additional outcomes include HPV-related knowledge, perceptions of vaccine safety, willingness to recommend the vaccine to others, and self-reported vaccine uptake at 1-week and 6 month follow-up. The results will help inform scalable communication strategies to improve HPV vaccination uptake in low- and middle-income settings.

This is a randomized observer-blind placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study with the aim to assess the safety and tolerability, and the immunogenicity of a bivalent HPV vaccine administered in healthy infants and toddlers (9- and 15-month-olds) comparing them to an immune-bridging population of 15-20-year-old unmarried females in an open label study in Ghana at the Dodowa Health Research Center.

Since the 2019-2020 school year, the province of Quebec (Canada) has been administering one dose of nonavalent (9vHPV) vaccine to students of all genders in Grade 4 of elementary school through the school-based program. Little data on the immunogenicity (antibody production) and long-term efficacy of a single dose of the vaccine are available, particularly in boys. The primary objective of this study is to assess the persistence of HPV antibodies six years after the administration of a single dose of the 9vHPV vaccine to students aged 9 to 11 years in Grade 4 in 2019-2020. The study will be conducted at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval research center. Recruitment is conducted through school service centers in the Quebec City region. Youth who received only a single dose of the 9vHPV vaccine at the ages of 9-11 in 2019-2020 will be eligible to participate. Approximately 300 youth will take part in this study: 150 girls and 150 boys. Participants will have to answer few questions about their health to ensure their eligibility for the study. For eligible participants consenting to participate a 10 ml (\<1 tablespoon) blood sample will be taken.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence works to improve HPV vaccination among females aged 15 to 26 in China. A randomized controlled trial and implementation science study will be conducted targeting females as participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the vaccine chatbot influence women's confidence, literacy, hesitancy, and uptake of the HPV vaccine. 2. What are the public acceptance of chatbot and the facilitators and barriers to its implementation in a real-world setting. Researchers will compare a group of women who use the chatbot with a group who do not use it to see if the chatbot is effective at helping women feel confident and willing to get vaccinated against HPV. Participants will: 1. Be recruited and randomly allocated into one of two groups. One group will be invited to use the HPV vaccine chatbot and the other group will not get access to the vaccine chatbot until the end of the trial. 2. Complete a questionnaire survey on their confidence, literacy, and hesitancy on the HPV vaccine. 3. Have their vaccination status checked at the end of trial.

Develop, implement, and evaluate a culturally tailored multilevel intervention to increase uptake of the HPV vaccine among eligible patients ages 10-12 of the University of California, Davis Health Community Physician (UCDH CP) primary care practices using a randomized controlled trial design.

This interventional study targets female students in junior middle school. It goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a vaccine chatbot on HPV vaccine awareness and vaccination. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How will the novel digital tool, a vaccine chatbot, impact eligible parents' awareness and knowledge of HPV vaccines, their willingness to vaccinate their daughters, and vaccination status of female students. 2. How is the vaccine chatbots accepted by all stakeholders, and what are the facilitators of and barriers to implementing vaccine chatbot promotion campaign. The intervention group will go through the intervention measure while the control group will not: 1. The intervention group will be invited to use the HPV vaccine chatbot online through WeChat , the mostly widely used social media platform in mainland China, or any web browsers. They can ask any questions related to the HPV vaccine and get validated answers from the chatbot immediately. The intervention lasts two weeks, with invitations sent every four days to reinforce the intervention. 2. The control group will not use the chatbot during the intervention duration. Researchers will compare participants' HPV vaccine awareness, and vaccination intention and status after intervention between intervention group and control group to evaluate if the vaccine chatbot improves HPV vaccine awareness and vaccination.

This is a multi-center, open, prospective cohort study that aims to investigate the immunogenicity and immune persistence of two different domestically produced bivalent HPV vaccines compared with an imported HPV vaccine in women aged 13-14 years. A total of 3,000 subjects who have completed 2 doses of the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine and 3 doses of the imported HPV vaccine will be recruited from Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital as the initiator of the study, and will be recruited from a number of healthcare institutions nationwide. Of these, 1,000 subjects were vaccinated with the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine (Wozehui), 1,000 subjects were vaccinated with the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine (Cecolin), and 1,000 subjects were vaccinated with the imported HPV vaccine. Each subject was enrolled within 30-60 days after the last dose of domestic bivalent HPV vaccine or imported HPV vaccine, and a total of two follow-up visits were conducted 12 months (window period ± 1 month) and 36 months (window period ± 1 month) after the last dose of domestic bivalent HPV vaccine or imported HPV vaccine. In response to the WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy, domestic bivalent HPV vaccine has been offered free of charge to adolescent females aged 13-14 years, but there is still a lack of evidence comparing the antibody titer levels of domestic HPV vaccine and imported HPV vaccine in younger females. Therefore, we conducted the present immunogenicity study to explore the immunogenicity and immune persistence after vaccination with domestic bivalent HPV vaccine versus imported HPV vaccine in this age group of females.
