Overview

Over the 1970s and 1980s, scientists discovered that human papillomavirus (HPV) was responsible for cervical cancer, anogenital cancer, and oropharyngeal cancers. Since squamous cervical carcinoma is entirely attributable to HPV infection, HPV prevention became the goal for development of a vaccine against HPV infection.

HPV remains the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. Approximately 80 million people are infected with HPV. For perspective, roughly 80%-90% of sexually active people will be infected at some point in their life. The incidence of HPV is 14 million new infections annually, and 50% of these cases are in those 15-24 years old.

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. During 2017–2018, 68.1% of adolescents had =1 dose of the HPV vaccine, and the percentage of adolescents up-to-date with the complete HPV vaccine series was 51.1%. In 2017, 51.5% of adult females and 21.2% of adult males (19-26 years old) reported receipt of at least one dose of HPV vaccine. The Johns Hopkins HPV Quality Improvement initiative described in this publication was an attempt to affect change in vaccination rates in the 18-26 year old college population.



Objectives
  1. Describe the impact of HPV infection.
  2. Outline strategies to support HPV vaccination acceptance
  3. Discuss the key finding from the Johns Hopkins Quality Improvement initiative.

Accreditation
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
