    • Description:
      Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in men and women in the United States (1). Vaccination prevents and controls HPV infection and associated outcomes, including genital warts, precancerous lesions, and certain cancers, such as cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal (2,3). HPV vaccination in the United States has been recommended for girls since 2006 and for boys since 2011 and requires multiple doses (2,3). This vaccine, targeted for children ages 11–12 years, may be started at age 9. This report uses parent-reported data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey to describe the percentage of children ages 9–17 years who received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine by selected sociodemographic and health characteristics.

      Key findings: Data from the National Health Interview Survey

      ● In 2022, 38.6% of children ages 9–17 years had received one or more human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine doses.

      ● Children with private health insurance (41.5%) were most likely to have received one or more HPV vaccine doses compared with children with Medicaid coverage (37.0%), other government coverage (30.2%), and those without insurance (20.7%).

      ● The percentage of children who have received one or more HPV vaccine doses was higher among those with disability.

      ● Children living in large central metropolitan areas (39.4%), large fringe metropolitan areas (41.1%), and medium and small metropolitan areas (39.4%) were more likely to have received one or more HPV vaccine doses, compared with children living in nonmetropolitan areas (30.0%).
