Vaccination rates for human papillomavirus (HPV) in Japan are significantly lower than other countries, and Japanese people are reluctant to be vaccinated. Repeated daily reports of COVID-19 infections and restrictions have made people more health conscious and aware of the danger of infectious diseases. In this study, we used the health belief model (HBM) to examine perceived threats of cancer and infectious diseases and to ascertain whether the new COVID-19 vaccination in addition to these perceived threats would increase vaccination intention against cervical cancer. We conducted a cluster analysis to classify the segmentation regarding the perceived threat, and a logistic regression analysis to predict factors influencing people accepting vaccination. We received 1257 completed surveys during our research. We classified the participants into six clusters, and the logistic regression analysis indicated eight factors significantly associated with the willingness to get the HPV vaccine: reliable information sources such as doctors and social networking sites (SNS), the recognition of COVID-19 symptoms, the awareness of COVID-19 vaccination, the importance of HPV prevention through vaccination, one's own intention of COVID-19 vaccination, their intention of COVID-19 vaccination toward children, and benefits of HPV vaccination. Further research on HPV and COVID-19 vaccination is encouraged.
日本的人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种率显著低于其他国家，而且日本人不愿意接种疫苗。每日不断重复的新冠病毒感染报告和限制措施使人们更加注重健康，并意识到传染病的危险性。在本研究中，我们使用健康信念模型（HBM）来检验对癌症和传染病的感知威胁，并确定除了这些感知威胁之外，新的新冠病毒疫苗接种是否会增加宫颈癌疫苗接种意愿。我们进行了聚类分析以对感知威胁的细分进行分类，并进行了逻辑回归分析以预测影响人们接受疫苗接种的因素。我们在研究期间收到了1257份完整的调查问卷。我们将参与者分为六个类别，逻辑回归分析表明有八个因素与HPV疫苗接种意愿显著相关：医生和社交网站（SNS）等可靠信息来源、对新冠病毒症状的认知、对新冠病毒疫苗接种的意识、通过接种疫苗预防HPV的重要性、个人接种新冠病毒疫苗的意愿、其对儿童接种新冠病毒疫苗的意愿以及HPV疫苗接种的益处。鼓励对HPV和新冠病毒疫苗接种进行进一步研究。
