Evaluating the acceptance level of the papillomavirus vaccine using a neutrosophic linguistic model

Abstract. Human Papilloma Virus is a health problem for payingattentionto. This is due tothe consequences it can bring to infected peoples and the society. Thus,it is a privilege to have the vaccine that prevents children to get such disease. Particularly we propose in this paperto carry out a study of the approval level of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine in the fiscal school "Bolívar"sited in Tulcán city, Ecuador. To achieve greater accuracy in thisstudy it is applied the method of 2-tuples linguistic neutrosophic model, which is part of the Computingwith Words. This tool allowsobtaining results from the evaluation of the satisfaction of the respondents bymeans of linguistic terms, which is the most natural way of evaluation compared with the numerical one. There is also a numericelement that measures the accuracyof the result. The incorporation of neutrosophy allows the explicit inclusion of indeterminacywithin what is evaluated, thatresults in a greater accuracy in the model with respect to the 2-tupleslinguistic fuzzy method.
