Abstract

HPV (human papillomavirus) is one of the leading causes of various types of cancer, including cervical cancer. Vaccination against HPV has been proven as an effective method of preventing these diseases and reducing the associated socio-economic costs. This article explores the socio-economic benefits of HPV vaccination, examining both the medical and economic impacts on health systems and society. Furthermore, it analyzes the factors influencing public perception and barriers to vaccination. The findings indicate that the HPV vaccine is not only a tool for cancer prevention but also an important economic instrument for reducing healthcare costs and enhancing productivity.
