HPV: Injecting Truth into the Vaccine and Making Effective Recommendations

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization rates are significantly below the Healthy People 2020 target of 80% and lag behind other adolescent vaccines that are given at the same time. There is no top reason for parents' lack of HPV initiation, and many concerns could be addressed by talking to a health care provider. This article aims to equip clinicians with information regarding the impa-cts of HPV, address vaccine concerns, and guide clinicians with best practices regarding effective vaccine recommendations.[Pediatr Ann. 2020;49(6):e244-e247.].
