Abstract:
While there exists a vast expanse of research in the West regarding public opinion and perception of preventative human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, there is a large gap in surveying and present scholarship in two regards - firstly with respect to the attitudes, beliefs, and ideas of clinicians themselves towards the HPV vaccine's administration, and secondly a geographical void where there is an extreme lack of such study in the Indian context. This study involves the construction and administration of a simplified survey among a selected sample of 33 highly qualified doctors in the Delhi-NCR region, to test the perception and attitudes towards the HPV vaccine in India. The survey revealed that 61% of respondents always recommend the HPV vaccine, 15% of respondents would often recommend it, 18% of respondents sometimes recommend it and the remaining 6% rarely recommend it. 97% of the respondents in this study were women. While studying the role of cultural barriers in negatively affecting perceptions towards the vaccine, it was found that 85% believed there to be no presence of said barriers for the same. Ultimately, the research combines secondary research of existing studies in the United States and Europe, and juxtaposes the same with contextual study in a hospital's microenvironment in Delhi-NCR, keeping in mind the limitations of such a study.
