摘要

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can cause cervical and other types of cancer. Despite the availability of a vaccine that protects against these infections and the recommendation of the Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO), vaccination rates in Germany are low and stagnating. The main reasons for this include a lack of knowledge about HPV vaccination, a lack of invitation and reminder systems, missing low-threshold vaccination services (e.g., in schools) legal hurdles and a lack of political priority. Experts recommend strengthening target group-specific education, introducing invitation and reminder systems, and voluntary HPV vaccination programs in schools as key measures. Political support, a clear legal framework, and long-term comprehensive implementation of the measures mentioned are crucial to increase HPV vaccination coverage and promote health equity.
