A new CDC report published Thursday found the percentage of teenagers who were up to date on their HPV vaccines has fallen dramatically since 2019.
The percentage of teenagers who were up to date on their human papillomavirus vaccines has fallen dramatically since 2020, according tochildren from ages 11 to 12 receive two doses of the HPV vaccine, given six to 12 months apart, although children can get the vaccine starting at age 9.
However, there was a notable decrease in the percentage of adolescents who were up to date with HPV vaccination by age 13 among those born in 2010 -- who would have turned 13 in 2023 -- compared with those born in 2007, who would have turned 13 in 2020. "The decline in the percentage of VFC- eligible adolescents who are HPV could signal a change in accessibility to vaccination through the VFC program, a change that needs further exploration," the report read. "This possibility under-scores the importance of ongoing efforts to ensure equitable access to vaccination services for all children and adolescents."
