Statement of Need

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and carries risk of several cancers, including cervical, oropharyngeal, and head and neck. Research has already shown a significant impact of the HPV vaccine in the young adult population. Newly expanded indications hope to increase the vaccine’s usefulness to further decreasing rates of head and neck and oropharyngeal cancers. Despite the prevalence of HPV and associated cancers, and the existence of a safe and effective vaccine, uptake of the vaccine in the US has not been robust. This lack of uptake is especially true for males. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rates of routine publicly funded vaccinations in the US, including HPV vaccinations, have drastically decreased compared with 2019. Overall, healthcare providers play a key role in improving HPV vaccination rates. Data shows that healthcare provider recommendations can increase HPV vaccination series initiation and completion. Unfortunately, healthcare provider knowledge of HPV is still inadequate, and it is uncertain how effective current educational resources for providers are. As such, these providers require an educational program that broadly encompasses the key HPV learning points, so they will be able to properly counsel patients and their families.
