Abstract: In this paper, the adolescents’ knowledge levels of HPV and attitude towards the HPV vaccination for boys were examined. Furthermore, a model of the HPV transmission was created to determine the impact of the immunization rates on the number of HPV infections. The epidemiologic and economic benefit of different immunisation rates was analysed. 30% of HPV infections in females could be averted if the boys who are willing to have the HPV vaccination were vaccinated, too.
