HPV vaccination rates in 9- and 10-year-olds following a pharmacist-led intervention.

Background: The American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend administering the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to children aged 9 and 10 years to improve on-time vaccination rates as they continue to be below national goal. Pharmacist-led interventions using the electronic health record (EHR) may be an effective way to increase these rates.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate change in first-dose HPV vaccination rate in 9- and 10-year-olds before and after a multifaceted HPV outreach initiative.
