(HPVs) are responsible for one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world, and their oncogenic role has been well demonstrated in genital, anal, and oropharyngeal areas. However, a certain distrust and a lack of knowledge about this vaccine are perceptible among French adolescents and their parents. Thus, health professionals and, more particularly, pharmacists appear to be key persons to promote HPV vaccination and restore confidence in the target population. The present study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HPV vaccination among pharmacists, particularly in boys, following the 2019 recommendation to vaccinate them. The present study was designed as a cross-sectional, quantitative, and descriptive survey that was conducted from March to September 2021 among pharmacists in France. 215 complete questionnaires were collected. Gaps in knowledge were found, only 21.4% and 8.4% obtained a high level of knowledge related to, respectively, HPV and vaccination. Pharmacists were confident in the HPV vaccine (94.4%), found it safe and useful, and felt that the promotion of the vaccine was part of their role (94.0%). However, only a few have already advised it, which they justify due to a lack of opportunity and forgetfulness. Faced with this, training, computerized reminders, or supportive materials could be implemented to improve the advice and thus the vaccination coverage. Finally, 64.2% were in favor of a pharmacy-based vaccination program. In conclusion, pharmacists are interested in this vaccination and the role of promoter. However, they need the means to facilitate this mission: training, computer alerts, supportive materials such as flyers, and the implementation of vaccination in pharmacies.
（HPV）是世界上最常见的性传播疾病之一的病原体，其致癌作用已在生殖器、肛门和口咽部位得到充分证实。然而，法国青少年及其父母对这种疫苗存在一定的不信任和缺乏了解。因此，卫生专业人员，尤其是药剂师，似乎是促进 HPV 疫苗接种和恢复目标人群信心的关键人物。本研究旨在评估药剂师对 HPV 疫苗接种的知识、态度和实践，特别是在推荐为男孩接种疫苗后。本研究是一项 2021 年 3 月至 9 月在法国进行的横断面、定量和描述性调查，共收集了 215 份完整的问卷。研究发现知识存在差距，只有 21.4%和 8.4%的人在 HPV 和疫苗接种方面获得了较高的知识水平。药剂师对 HPV 疫苗有信心（94.4%），认为它安全有效，并认为推广疫苗是他们职责的一部分（94.0%）。然而，只有少数人已经建议接种，他们认为这是由于缺乏机会和健忘。面对这种情况，可以实施培训、计算机提醒或支持性材料，以改善建议，从而提高疫苗接种覆盖率。最后，64.2%的人赞成在药房进行疫苗接种计划。总之，药剂师对这种疫苗接种和推广者的角色感兴趣。然而，他们需要一些手段来促进这项任务：培训、计算机提醒、宣传材料（如传单），以及在药房实施疫苗接种。
