Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the vaccination status against the human papillomavirus among students at the School of Medicine of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. METHODS: It is an observational cross-sectional study that aims to identify and analyze the characteristics and variables that relate to the vaccination status against the human papillomavirus of students at the School of Medicine of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The data were collected using standardized online questionnaires. RESULTS: Among the participants, 176 (49.2%) claimed to have been vaccinated against the virus and had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among those surveyed, 74 (20.7%) students reported having taken 3 doses, while 89 (24.9%) took 2 and 13 (3.6%) took only 1 dose. Regarding the vaccinated in the age group covered by the public network, 62 (17.3%) are female (9-14 years old) and 12 (3.4%) are male (11-14 years old). A total of 66.66% of the students who have already had some injury by the virus, were not vaccinated. CONCLUSION: This study showed that, as with the Brazilian population in general, the vaccination status against human papillomavirus among students at the School of Medicine of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora is below expectations. The main reason reported for non-vaccination was not being part of the age group included in the vaccination of the public network. It was also found that the prevalence of lesions by Human Papillomavirus in vaccinated was lower than in non-vaccinated, emphasizing the need for the vaccine to prevent lesions caused by the virus.
