Impact of school-entry and education mandates by states on HPV vaccination coverage: Analysis of the 2009–2013 National Immunization Survey-Teen

Abstract: Objective: To determine the effectiveness of existing school entry and education mandates on HPV vaccination coverage, we compared coverage among girls residing in states and jurisdictions with and without education and school-entry mandates.

“…39 In addition, parental text-message and mailed reminders as well as in-clinic provider electronic reminders may boost vaccination rates, and repeated physician recommendations may be needed to convince parents who initially refuse. [49][50][51][52] In the United States, the impact of voluntary and mandated school-based initiatives is unclear. 41 Other countries, including Portugal, England, and Australia, have achieved HPVV initiation rates of 80% or higher with large-scale and population-based approaches, including school-based programs.…”

“…41 Other countries, including Portugal, England, and Australia, have achieved HPVV initiation rates of 80% or higher with large-scale and population-based approaches, including school-based programs. 49 In 2015, Rhode Island enacted stricter legislation (without philosophical optouts) and had the highest rates of HPVV initiation in the nation as of 2016, although HPVV rates were relatively high before the legislation. The federally funded Vaccines for Children program provides free vaccines for low-income children.…”
