Abstract: The coverage rate of HPV vaccination in China is still very low,and the main reason may be related to people's confusion about the choice of vaccine types,the best age of vaccination,vaccination procedures and prices and other factors.This paper briefly describes the etiology of cervical cancer,the approval of HPV vaccine,the application status of HPV vaccine in foreign countries,and the current situation and challenges in the use of cervical cancer vaccine in China,and advocates that obstetrics and gynaecology experts/disease control experts actively promote the prevention and control of cervical cancer,so that young girls and their parents understand the knowledge related to cervical cancer and HPV vaccine,and young girls can be vaccinated with HPV vaccine as early as possible,so as to improve the coverage rate of HPV vaccination and eliminate cervical cancer.
