The aim of this qualitative study was to provide an in-depth exploration and comparison of French mothers and adolescent girls’ perceptions of the risks and benefits of HPV vaccination.

This study explored the role of maturity in decision-making around HPV vaccination in France through qualitative interviews with adolescent girls (n = 24) and their mothers (n = 21) and two focus groups with adolescent girls (n = 12).

The term “vaccine hesitancy” (VH) is increasingly used to describe the spread of such vaccine reluctance.
