Identifying the intersection of parental HPV and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy to inform health messaging interventions in community-based settings.

Purpose: Parental human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine hesitancy contributes to delays or refusals in adolescent uptake. It is unclear if COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy has further impacted the low HPV vaccine uptake trends among underrepresented minorities. This study examines the relationship between COVID-19 vaccine intent and HPV vaccine hesitancy among parents for their adolescents in communities with low vaccine uptake in Los Angeles County.
