Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is routinely recommended for adolescents at age 11 or 12 years for protection from cancers and other diseases caused by HPV infection. In 2012, only 53.8% of females and 20.8% of males aged 13-17 received one or more doses of HPV vaccine. Due to low vaccination uptake, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supported the efforts of several national partner organizations to help raise HPV vaccination rates. National partners include the Academic Pediatric Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Cancer Society, the National Area Health Education Centers Organization, and the National Association of County and City Health Officials. These national partners have focused on improving provider education on effective HPV vaccine recommendations, prioritizing HPV vaccination, forming strong partnerships, developing and disseminating HPV vaccination resources for members and the public, and quality improvement.
