Abstract

Background/Aims: Vaccination with the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine presents an opportunity to reduce the burden of conditions caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Despite increases in HPV vaccine initiation since its introduction in 2006, the 3-dose series completion rate among age-eligible males and females remains low. Provider recommendation has been identified as one of the strongest influences on HPV vaccine initiation. However, limited research has examined the contribution of provider factors to HPV vaccine completion. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of barriers and facilitators to HPV vaccine series completion from the perspective of immunization providers.
