A desriptive statistics was employed of data presentation. Results: Parental HPV vaccine belief and acceptance were high, but awareness and knowledge regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccine were still not satisfied. The main factor causing low awareness was never having heard of HPV vaccine. Low parental knowledge in terms of the vaccine works in people who have not yet been infected by HPV. Barriers of most parents who were not accepting HPV vaccine were because of fear for side effects of the vaccine. Parents’ decision on vaccination are most influenced by school teachers. Conclusion: There were some gaps on knowledge and awareness on HPV vaccine in urban parents. This study might give insight regarding key aspects in terms of increase the HPV vaccination coverage for successful prevention and control of cervical cancer in Indonesia.
