Abstract
This study delves into the intricate interplay between trust in personal doctors (GPs), sources of information about recommended vaccines, and the willingness to vaccinate against human papillomavirus (HPV) and other recommended vaccines. The analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation between HPV awareness and the willingness to vaccinate. Notably, awareness concerning HPV is high, with 35.6% of all respondents expressing readiness to receive the HPV vaccine. The study identified the personal doctor as the predominant source of vaccine-related information. The identified correlations underscore the influence of medical professionals in guiding vaccine uptake choices and the necessity for targeted communication strategies aimed at enhancing vaccine acceptance.
