Abstract
Cervical cancer ranks as the second leading cause of cancer and cancer-related
deaths among Ethiopian women. Implementation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is
anticipated to greatly reduce the burden of cervical cancer. However, there is limited information
on the extent of uptake of HPV vaccination in Ethiopia, specifically within the areas of Sululta
and Chancho towns. This study has assessed the uptake of HPV vaccine and its associated
factors among adolescent schoolgirls in Sululta and Chancho towns, Oromia, Central Ethiopia.
