Search terms matter. A review missed a lot of the research on support for HPV vaccine school entry requirements because they used only pejorative search terms like "mandates". My first thread.
1/n
This new "systematic review" looked only for pejorative terms for HPV vaccine school requirements: “compulsory AND vaccination” OR “mandatory AND vaccination”.

They did not search for "vaccine requirements." Many of us don't use the term "mandates" because it presumes that the policy is problematic/has a negative connotation.

A quick search finds they missed 2705 papers in Pubmed. I looked for my term and removed what they found: ((vaccine OR vaccination) AND requirements NOT ((compulsory AND vaccination) OR (mandatory AND vaccination))
Don't get me started about "immunization" etc.

Four of the missing papers are mine, so here they are.

"...half (47%) of parents agreed that laws requiring HPV immunization for school attendance “are a good idea” when opt-out provisions were not mentioned. Far more agreed that “these laws are okay only if parents can opt out if they want to” (84%)" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.41…

"Overall, 21% of parents agreed that laws requiring HPV vaccination for school attendance “are a good idea,” and 54% disagreed. If school-entry requirements included opt-out provisions, agreement increased to 57%, and only 21% disagreed."

"The majority of physicians (74%) supported some form of school-entry requirements, with or without optout provisions. When opt-out provisions were not specified, 47% agreed that laws requiring HPV
vaccination for school attendance were a 'good idea.'"

The editor-in-chief agrees that the paper missed important information. Letter to the editor, incoming.
