Human papillomavirus vaccine uptake in boys and girls in a school-based vaccine delivery program in Prince Edward Island, Canada

Abstract: HPV vaccination for boys in PEI has had a successful launch, almost reaching the Canadian Immunization Committee recommendations of >80% for the early years of a program. PEI has a highly organized Public Health Nursing program that is involved in all childhood and school-based vaccinations in PEI and in this context very high coverage rates were obtained. Areas to target for improving uptake include the boys and the students in the French Language School Board.

“…Manitoba also released plans to expand its provincial program in October 2015 (Province of Manitoba 2015). Preliminary evaluations of the expanded program in PEI have observed vaccine uptake of 79.0% among males, a similar uptake to what was reported in the first year of the HPV vaccination program implementation for girls (McClure et al 2015).…”

“…While the problem at hand was clearly defined and some evidence supported program expansion to decrease the incidence of HPV infection (Blake 2013;NACI 2012), there was minimal political motivation to make any changes to the status quo regarding HPV programs and no evidence-based proposals had been presented to feasibly address the lack of a universal HPV vaccination program in Nova Scotia. Motivation to move the policy forward to the decision agenda came from policy changes in other Canadian provinces, clear proposals presented by respected politicians with personal commitments to the issue, and successful implementation of program expansion (McClure et al 2015). First, expansion of the HPV vaccination program was adopted in PEI and in Alberta in 2013 and recent findings reported that expansion was adopted by 79.0% of eligible males in PEI (McClure et al 2015).…”

“…Prince Edward Island had high rates after the sixth year of the school-based VP: 85% and 79% completion for girls and boys, respectively. 48 In Ontario, vaccination completion rates increased annually over 3 years (51%, 58%, and 59%). Implementation was challenged by a lack of a comprehensive vaccination strategy and several schools refused to participate.…”

“…This approach is leading to low vaccine uptake in the US, there is evidence to suggest that vaccine uptake in adolescent males is low; in 2012 only 20.8% of US boys aged 13 -17 received at least one dose, and only 6.8% receiving the full three dose schedule [63]. This can be contrasted with a school-based universal vaccination programme in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, where 79% of adolescent boys received all three doses of vaccination (although again male vaccination was significantly lower than females (85%; p=0.004)) [64].…”
