Background: Cervical cancer ranks as the second most frequent cancer in Indonesia although there are
already an Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to prevent it. Knowledge and aspect related parents’ attitude
towards HPV vaccination is pivotal to explore the possible barrier of their negative attitude towards HPV

A desriptive statistics was employed of data presentation.
Results: Parental HPV vaccine belief and acceptance were high, but awareness and knowledge regarding
cervical cancer and HPV vaccine were still not satisfied. The main factor causing low awareness was never
having heard of HPV vaccine. Low parental knowledge in terms of the vaccine works in people who have not yet been infected by HPV. Barriers of most parents who were not accepting HPV vaccine were because of fear for side effects of the vaccine. Parents’ decision on vaccination are most influenced by school teachers.
