High-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a key intermediate outcome for evaluating early population-level effects of HPV vaccination and is mainly managed in outpatient settings, which may provide a more timely signal than hospitalizations or cancer registry data. This study aimed to assess whether the introduction of quadrivalent HPV vaccination in Brazil in 2014 through its National Immunization Program was associated with changes in first outpatient consultations for high-grade CIN. We conducted a quasi-experimental interrupted time-series analysis using Brazil's Outpatient Information System, including females aged ≥15 y with first eligible high-grade CIN records identified by ICD-10 codes and relevant procedures. Descriptive trends were assessed from 2011 to 2023, and interrupted time-series models were restricted to 2011-2019. Age-specific consultation counts and rates were calculated, and segmented regression models were fitted using generalized linear models. Negative controls included consultations for non-HPV sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and trends among older age groups not directly targeted by vaccination. Among adolescents aged 15-19 y, high-grade CIN consultation rates increased from 5.5 per 100,000 women in 2011 to a peak of 7.1 in 2015, followed by a decline to 1.8 in 2023, falling below pre-vaccination levels. Older age groups did not show comparable declines, while non-HPV STI consultations increased steadily across all ages. These contrasting trends support a vaccine-related effect in adolescents and indicate that the observed decline is unlikely to reflect changes in healthcare-seeking behavior or reporting practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":49067,"journal":{"name":"Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics","volume":"22 1","pages":"2684304"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13274153/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148260153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adults aged 18 and older were recruited nationwide, with demographic weighting based on the 2020 National Census. Vaccine hesitancy was defined according to WHO SAGE guidelines. Multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) were applied to estimate standardized provincial-level vaccine hesitancy rates, and multilevel logistic models were used to examine influencing factors, including sociodemographic characteristics and constructs from the health belief model (HBM). Adjusted vaccine hesitancy rates showed a U-shaped trend: 33.78% in January 2021, dropping to 11.33% in June 2021, rising slightly to 16.13% in January 2022, and rebounding to 31.72% in June 2022. Hesitancy was initially driven by concerns over vaccine safety, while later stages reflected reduced risk perception and vaccination fatigue. Younger adults, women, urban residents, and those with higher education levels were more likely to exhibit hesitancy. HBM factors - particularly perceived safety and effectiveness - were significant early drivers but diminished in influence over time. Vaccine hesitancy among Chinese adults fluctuated with changes in pandemic context and public perception, shifting from safety concerns to complacency. Sustained public health efforts are needed to address psychological, social, and contextual barriers to vaccination, especially in later phases of epidemic control.
