Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students with high per capita annual household income (OR=1.181, 95%CI: 1.023~1.363), Short vaccination time (OR=0.404,95%CI:0.266~0.615), heard of HPV vaccine (OR=1.618,95%CI:1.807-2.407), and believed that the vaccine was not expensive (OR=0.624, 95%CI: 0.533~0.729) had high vaccination intention.
