Abstract

The primary prevention of the diseases caused by human papillomavirus is vaccination. It has been acknowledged for more than ten years, and it is recommended for both girls and boys from age 9 to age 12 years. The education of health workers for better communication with parents, the application of literature and recommendations, the continuous education of doctors, the readiness to provide clear and precise answers to numerous questions and parents' concerns are the way to understand and accept vaccine significance .
