Human papilloma virus infection is considered one of the main causes of neoplasms and pre-malignant lesions associated with infectious processes; they represent a public health problem and we have the compromising need to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by the virus through immunization. Objectives: To analyze the strengthening tactics to prevent the predisposing factors to the deficit of coverage for the prevention of the Cervical Uterine Cancer. Methods: This study was conducted from August 2017 to March 2018 in a sample of 634 students between the ages of 10 and 12 in the city of Santa Cruz, interviewing 574 parents. The type of study is non-probabilistic; Stratified random transverse non - experimental analysis with a qualitative quantitative variable of ordinal scale. Results: More than 80% of parents rejected the vaccine related to multiple factors (ignorance, distrust of the vaccine, myths, fear, others) Parents who oppose immunization against uterine cervical cancer have 4 times more risk of their daughters developing the disease at some stage of their life (RR 4.2, CI: .2.1 - 8.2, X2 23.3, p: 0.00000048). Conclusions: For this reason tactics were used, of which 4 gave more results for parents to access vaccination. We managed to vaccinate the second dose to the target population of our research.
