HPV UTD includes those with 3 doses, and those with 2 doses when the first HPV vaccine dose was initiated before age 15 years and time between the first and second dose was at least 5 months minus 4 days.

8 Why Is HPV Vaccine Coverage So Low? Parents Parents are not offered vaccination Parents perceive vaccine as optional or unnecessary at that time Parents perceive that their providers discouraged vaccination Parents want information about vaccine safety Parents do not understand the reason to vaccinate at 11 to 12 years of age Providers Providers are reluctant to give multiple shots at one visit Providers introduce HPV vaccination at age 11 years but do not recommend it strongly Providers recommend vaccination based on their estimation of sexual activity Providers have limited experience with HPV and underestimate risk Providers perceive HPV as more emotionally charged than other vaccines Delaying vaccination leads to nonvaccination Both providers and parents know they are often unaware of the timing of sexual debut.

13 What can we do about it?

14 What can healthcare providers do? Make an effective recommendation for HPV vaccination as cancer prevention for every 11- or 12-year-old patient Assess HPV vaccine coverage for each provider in your practice and develop an office-wide strategy to improve it Engage the entire practice not just the healthcare providers in committing to improve HPV vaccine coverage Implement systems strategies to improve HPV vaccine coverage

16 What can healthcare providers do?

19 Systems Strategies to Improve HPV Vaccine Coverage Establish standing orders for HPV vaccination beginning at age years in your practice Conduct reminder/recall beginning at years of age Assess HPV vaccine coverage at every visit and prompt clinical staff to give HPV vaccine at that visit Schedule return visit for next dose before the patient leaves the office Document each dose in the child s medical record and the state s immunization information system

20 Tactics for Successful HPV Vaccine Delivery, Denver Health Routine use of a robust immunization registry for multiple functions, including recording vaccine history and recommended needed vaccines at every visit Medical assistants check vaccine registry for recommended vaccines at every visit Standing order for routine immunizations Vaccines are given early in the visit when possible Education for providers to present Tdap, MCV, and HPV as a standard bundle of adolescent immunizations Provider-level report cards with adolescent vaccination coverage rates Vaccination drives at school-based health centers Farmer et al, Pediatrics 2016

22 HPV VACCINATION FOR CANCER PREVENTION: Progress, Opportunities, and a Renewed Call to Action A Report to the President of the United States from the Chair of the President s Cancer Panel November 2018 Stakeholder resources: key report findings and graphics

23 Partnerships and Collaborations are Essential The coalescence of a critical mass of dedicated stakeholders has created momentum and opportunity to achieve the goals outlines in this report. Stakeholder collaborations and partnerships should continue in implementing proven strategies to increase vaccination rates among all populations to target levels.

26 Timeline of ACIP s Recommendations for HPV Vaccination June 2006: ACIP recommended HPV4 as a 3 dose series for females at age years, with catch up for those years who were not previously vaccinated. HPV4 can be given as young as age 9 years. October 2009: ACIP updated recommendations to include HPV2 for use in females and provided guidance that HPV4 could be used in males October 2011: ACIP recommended HPV4 as a 3 dose series for males at age years, with catch up for those years who were not previously vaccinated. HPV4 can be given to males 9-26 years of age. February 2015: ACIP updated recommendations to include HPV9 as a 3 dose series for use in both males and females. October 2016: ACIP recommended 2 doses of HPV vaccine, at least 6 months apart, for adolescents beginning the vaccine series before their 15 th birthday and are immunocompetent, and 3-doses of HPV vaccine for persons years of age or persons who are immunocompromised

27 HPV-Associated Cervical Carcinoma Rates by State, United States, Rate are per 100,000 persons and age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. Data are from population-based registries participating in CDC s National Program of Cancer Registries or NCI s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, meeting USCS publication criteria for all years , and cover about 99% of the US population. Rates were suppressed if the data did not meet USCS publication criteria or if there were fewer than 16 cases. HPV-associated cancers were defined as cancers at specific anatomic sites with specific cellular types in which HPV DNA frequently is found. All cancers were confirmed histologically. Cervical cancers (ICD-O-3 site codes C53.0 C53.9) were limited to carcinomas (ICD-O-3 histology codes , ). Adapted from: Viens et al. Human Papillomavirus- Associated Cancers United States, MMWR 2016;65(26):

28 HPV Vaccination: What Works Parents Parents want to prevent cancer Parents trust their provider s recommendation Parents think benefits outweigh risks Parents want a strong recommendation Providers Providers emphasize cancer prevention Providers normalize the HPV vaccine and coadminister with other vaccines Providers give a strong recommendation Perkins RB et al.

30 HEDIS Measures for HPV Vaccination Coverage CDC partnered with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to develop a HEDIS measure for HPV vaccination coverage of girls Proportion of girls who have received three doses of HPV vaccine by their 13 th birthday The measure was first publicly reported in HEDIS 2014 (MMWR 2015) The NCQA/HEDIS measure was included in the Core Set of Children s Health Care Quality Measures for Medicaid and CHIP in FY2014 CDC partnered with NCQA to update the measure HEDIS 2017: receipt of three doses of HPV vaccine by age 13 included in the Adolescent Immunization measure for both boys and girls HEDIS 2018: two dose schedule allowed, aligned with current ACIP recommendation

31 HPV Vaccine Recommendations, United States, 2006-present 2006: HPV vaccine recommended as three dose series for girls at years of age, with catch up through 26 years of age 2011: HPV vaccine recommended as three dose series for boys at years of age, with catch up through 21 years of age. 2015: 9-valent HPV vaccine replaced 4-valent HPV vaccine 2016: For boys and girls who start series before 15 th birthday, only two doses of HPV vaccine needed
