“…[12][13][14] In addition, physicians have reported that infrequent health care visits is a major barrier to vaccinating adolescents. 15,16 Our data suggest, however, that although only 55% of adolescents made a vaccination visit during the recommended ages of 11 to 12 years, 83% made at least 1 vaccination visit by the time they were 18 years old. Although efforts to increase vaccination visits at ages 11 to 12 years are needed, vaccination efforts at older ages need to be continued to ensure that adolescents are caught up with the recommended vaccines.…”

BACKGROUND: From 2005 through 2007, 3 vaccines were added to the adolescent vaccination schedule: tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (TdaP); meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY); and human papillomavirus (HPV) for girls. OBJECTIVE: To assess implementation of new adolescent vaccination recommendations. METHODS: Data from the 2006–2009 National Immunization Survey–Teen, an annual provider-verified random-digit-dial survey of vaccination coverage in US adolescents aged 13 to 17 years, were analyzed. Main outcome measures included percentage of adolescents who received each vaccine according to survey year; potential coverage if all vaccines were administered during the same vaccination visit; and, among unvaccinated adolescents, the reasons for not receiving vaccine. RESULTS: Between 2006 and 2009, ≥1 TdaP and ≥1 MenACWY coverage increased from 11% to 56% and 12% to 54%, respectively. Between 2007 and 2009, ≥1 HPV coverage among girls increased from 25% to 44%; between 2008 and 2009, ≥3 HPV coverage increased from 18% to 27%. In 2009, vaccination coverage could have been >80% for Td/TdaP and MenACWY and as high as 74% for the first HPV dose if providers had administered all recommended vaccines during the same vaccination visit. For all years, the top reported reasons for not vaccinating were no knowledge about the vaccine, provider did not recommend, and vaccine is not needed/necessary (for TdaP and MenACWY) and adolescent is not sexually active, no knowledge about the vaccine, and vaccine is not needed/necessary (for HPV). CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent vaccination coverage is increasing but could be improved. Strategies are needed to increase parental knowledge about adolescent vaccines and improve provider recommendation and administration of all vaccines during the same visit.

“…The low NPV may also be a product of provider delivery of vaccines to adolescents (i.e. multiple vaccines administered at once) [10], in which case adolescents and their parents may not know exactly which vaccines they have received. We did not ask about other adolescent vaccines, but the results might have been similar for other simultaneously administered vaccines.…”

Adult self-report of vaccination status has been demonstrated to be variably accurate for a number of different vaccines [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Generally, recall of vaccines has high sensitivity and reasonable specificity, but findings have differed depending on the type of vaccination and certain demographic characteristics. There is limited research on the accuracy of selfreported vaccination status in adolescents, and specifically regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.Understanding HPV vaccination status has research and clinical implications. In many research studies, and some instances within clinical practice, self-reported vaccination status is relied on to obtain immunization history and inform the need for further vaccinations [5]. The current study used medical records and self-administered questionnaires to compare actual HPV vaccination status with self-reported and parent-reported receipt of HPV vaccine among adolescent girls in an urban setting. MethodsAdolescent girls (N=74; ages 14-17 years at enrollment) and their female guardians (referred to here as mothers) were recruited from urban adolescent clinics over a 5 month period. The mothers and girls each completed a questionnaire regarding sexual behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge about HPV vaccine. The research assistant was present during the administration of the survey to ensure the girls and their mothers did not converse while completing the questionnaire. Adolescent girls were asked to recall if they had received one or more doses of HPV vaccine and approximate date(s) of the shot(s). Mothers were asked parallel questions about daughters' HPV vaccination histories. Both were asked to complete Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

Medical records were abstracted for vaccine dates to compare HPV vaccine recall with actual receipt of one or more doses of vaccine. Analysis of variance was conducted on knowledge scores to compare mothers and daughters who accurately reported vaccination status with those who did not, and chi-square analysis was utilized to assess frequency of sexual behaviors and girls accuracy of self reports. Both sensitivity, the proportion of participants who reported a history of receiving one or more HPV vaccine doses in agreement with the daughter's medical record; and specificity, the proportion of participants who reported a history of not receiving HPV vaccination in agreement with the daughter's medical record, were calculated for mothers and daughters. ResultsThe 74 girls in this study were ...

“…Our work demonstrated the key role of GPs, who took the initiative in vaccinating more than two of five students. Similarly, Dempsey et al (29) found that the dTP vaccine coverage rate was correlated to the time investment in vaccination made by GPs. This role would be pertinent given the 2010 measles outbreak among young adults in France (30).…”

For young adults living in France, the transition to becoming responsible for their own vaccination records at 18 years of age may result in missed opportunities for vaccination due to a lack of knowledge among this population. Accordingly, the authors of this study aimed to assess vaccine-related knowledge among individuals between 18 and 25 years of age by conducting a survey that was completed by 583 students.
