Comfort with dentist-administered vaccines was higher for COVID-19 (60\u202f%) than HPV (37\u202f%, p&lt;0.05). There was a significant knowledge difference, with 85\u202f% aware that the COVID-19 vaccine can prevent severe illness, but only 22\u202f% aware that the HPV vaccine can prevent oropharyngeal cancer (p&lt;0.05). Patients showed overall willingness to discuss COVID-19\/HPV vaccines with dentists (58 % and 49\u202f%) and less agreement that dentists were qualified to educate about COVID-19\/HPV vaccines (43 % and 37\u202f%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2025-0145_abs_004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings indicate mixed adolescent perception of including dentists in vaccinations, with higher comfort around COVID-19 over HPV vaccines.
