HPV Vaccine Rates Vary Among Adults Before, After Recommend Change

JAMA Network

About The Study: There were significant increases in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine administration among commercially insured adults ages 27 to 45 after the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended patient-clinician shared decision-making for HPV vaccination for this age group in 2019. Further research is warranted to explore the decision-making process in receiving HPV vaccination and to develop effective decision aids to maximize the cancer prevention benefit in this age group.
