%X Introduction: Cervical cancer can be prevented by early
vaccination of young people against papillomaviruses and screening for
precancerous lesions. After a successful pilot phase, vaccination coverage in
the generalization phase is low. The aim of this study was to determine
papillomavirus vaccination coverage and to identify associated factors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study conducted from (1st)

literature review, we conducted two-stage cluster sampling and direct structured interviews. Socio-demographic
characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers or guardians
about papillomaviruses vaccination were collected using a standardized

compared to (25.88%) CI95% (19.52 - 31.17)
for the second dose. Factors statistically and significantly
associated with coverage of the first dose of papillomaviruses vaccine were instruction
