Abstrakt: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for 26,900 cancer cases yearly, including genital and oropharyngeal cancers. Despite providing nearly 100% protection against cancer-causing strains of HPV, only 68.9% of teenagers receive even one dose of the HPV9 vaccine. To increase HPV9 vaccine series initiation rates among 11-14 year-olds. Vaccine rates were examined before and after multi-modal protocol implementation at a nurse-run, walk-in immunization clinic. Initiation increased from 17.9% in 2017 to 35.5% in 2018. Use of same way/same day recommendation practices and inclusion of non-clinician staff could improve quality of care and decrease HPV-related disease.
