Type: preprint

Abstract: Cervical cancer, preventable through Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, remains a global public health concern. Vaccination behaviors are influenced by public awareness and information from diverse sources. With increasing reliance on the internet, social media have become influential in shaping public health perceptions, including HPV vaccination. However, misinformation on social media may exacerbate vaccine hesitancy and pose public health risks. This scoping review aim to investigate the types and characteristics of HPV vaccine–related communication across social media platforms and information sources, as well as the theoretical frameworks and analytical approaches used to study these communication dynamics.
