Over 85% of the 10,521 mothers in the study thought the vaccine was a good idea for 16- to 17-year-old girls, but only 48% intended to have their 9- to 12-year-olds vaccinated.
The vaccine protects against a sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.
This study was presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies.
