Abstract
To assess opinions, practices and difficulties of general practitioners (GP) of Besançon concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. A survey among the 140 GP of Besançon, France, was conducted in 2015. A percentage of 77.1 reported being favourable to HPV vaccination and 72.9% practices HPV vaccination. The 2 main concerns about HPV vaccination for GP are the fear of side effects (for 40.6% of GP) and the doubt on efficacy. According to GP, the hepatitis B vaccination controversy, the fear of side effects, the limited clinical efficacy experience and the lack of confidence in health authorities are concerns about HPV vaccination for 77.1%, 76%, 74% and 49% of patients, respectively. Courses for GP on HPV vaccination must be pursued and reinforced. A school-based program could be developed to facilitate communication between GP and patients to improve HPV vaccination coverage.
