Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination of young adolescent girls as a part of primary prevention of cervical cancer is now a routine practice in many countries. Bangladesh, a lower-middle income country, observed a successful HPV vaccination demonstration program recently. As much as the benefits of the vaccination programs are well-recorded, the ethics of administration of it is not focused highly; rather the focus tends to be on the most efficient method to get it done. In countries like Bangladesh, vaccination-related ethical issues are often overlooked. Thus, addition of HPV vaccination to the existing immunization programs calls for logical discussion and consideration to preserve the highest ethical standard in administering this vaccine to a sensitive age group of adolescence. This chapter summarizes some ethical concerns related to the HPV vaccination implementation in Bangladesh.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种作为宫颈癌一级预防的一部分，目前已在许多国家常规实施。孟加拉国是一个中低收入国家，最近成功开展了 HPV 疫苗接种示范项目。虽然疫苗接种计划的益处有案可查，但疫苗接种的伦理问题并没有得到高度关注；相反，关注的焦点往往是如何最有效地完成接种。在孟加拉国等国家，与疫苗接种相关的伦理问题经常被忽视。因此，在现有的免疫规划中增加 HPV 疫苗接种需要进行合乎逻辑的讨论和审议，以在向青少年这一敏感年龄组接种疫苗时保持最高的伦理标准。本章总结了与孟加拉国 HPV 疫苗接种实施相关的一些伦理问题。
