This study investigated the current status and intention for HPV vaccination among Singapore nurses., MATERIALS AND METHODS: All female nurses in a general hospital were given an anonymous questionnaire on HPV vaccination experience and intention of vaccinating their daughters. The influence of age, knowledge and perceived-risk of cervical cancer, and cultural background on mother's intention of vaccinating their daughters was analyzed., RESULTS: Of 2,000 nurses, 1,622 (81.1\%) responded and analysis was performed on 1,611 with valid data. They showed good awareness on association of cervical cancer with multiple sexual partners (81.9\%), history of sexually transmissible diseases (78.2\%), and history of genital warts/HPV infection (73.5\%), and on cervical cancer preventive effects of HPV vaccination (54.6\%). The prevailing misconceptions of the vaccines were: investigational nature (38.9\%), side effects (27.9\%) and indicated for women at high risk for cervical cancer (20.5\%)., CONCLUSIONS: Misconceptions on the nature, role and safety of HPV vaccines low vaccine up-take rates and daughters. Dissemination of adequate and accurate HPV vaccine information and a review for school-based vaccination are needed for optimal delivery of HPV vaccines in Singapore.},
