**4. Conclusion**

HPV vaccines are recommended by WHO, CDC that are the world's leading organizations, and related associations of all other developed countries, have not yet reached the deserved coverage rate. WHO described HPV vaccination as an essential part of its program when talking about the elimination of cervical cancer. The most well-known topic of all medical staff is "The worst vaccine is better than the best treatment." As such, there are numbers of myths about HPV vaccines that we mentioned above. These issues should be well known to all of our community, especially health professionals, so that HPV vaccination can become widespread. We wanted to share the truths of these myths with you in the light of the evidences of today. In this article, neither of us have any conflict of interest.
