Abstract
In Hong Kong, cervical cancer is the seventh commonest cancer among females and accounts for about 3.6% of all new cancer cases. To reduce the disease burden, a cervical cancer screening programme was launched in 2004 and two vaccines were introduced in 2006. However, HPV vaccination is not included in the government immunisation schedule and is largely taken up in private clinics opportunistically. The uptake rate of HPV vaccination among adolescent girls in Hong Kong is low (2.1%-9.1%).1,2 The success of a HPV vaccination programme largely depends on the local stakeholders’ attitude towards risks and benefits of vaccination. Our study used a discrete choice experiment to elicit Hong Kong mothers’ preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for HPV vaccination for their daughters.
