Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The impact of hesitancy on the uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines was of particular concern, given the markedly lower uptake compared to other adolescent vaccines in some countries, notably the United States. With the recent approval of COVID-19 vaccines, coupled with the widespread use of social media, concerns regarding vaccine hesitancy have grown. However, the association between COVID-related vaccine hesitancy and cancer vaccines such as HPV is unclear. To examine the potential association, we performed two reviews using Ovid Medline and APA PsychInfo. Our aim was to answer two questions: (1) Is COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake associated with HPV or hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake? and (2) Is exposure to COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on social media associated with HPV or HBV vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake? Our review identified few published empirical studies that addressed these questions. Our results highlight the urgent need for studies that can shift through the vast quantities of social media data to better understand the link between COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and disinformation and its impact on uptake of cancer vaccines.
在 COVID-19 大流行之前，世界卫生组织将疫苗犹豫列为全球健康十大威胁之一。鉴于某些国家（尤其是美国） HPV 疫苗的接种率明显低于其他青少年疫苗，犹豫对 HPV 疫苗接种的影响尤其令人关注。随着最近 COVID-19 疫苗的批准，加上社交媒体的广泛使用，人们对疫苗犹豫的担忧与日俱增。然而，与 COVID 相关的疫苗犹豫与 HPV 等癌症疫苗之间的关联尚不清楚。为了研究这种潜在的关联，我们使用 Ovid Medline 和 APA PsychInfo 进行了两项综述。我们的目的是回答两个问题：（1）COVID-19 疫苗犹豫、意愿或接种与 HPV 或乙肝（HBV）疫苗犹豫、意愿或接种有关吗？（2）社交媒体上 COVID-19 疫苗错误信息的接触是否与 HPV 或 HBV 疫苗犹豫、意愿或接种有关？我们的综述发现很少有已发表的实证研究来解决这些问题。我们的研究结果强调了迫切需要进行研究的必要性，以便能够从大量的社交媒体数据中筛选出更好地理解 COVID-19 疫苗错误信息和虚假信息及其对癌症疫苗接种的影响之间的联系。
