Human Papillomavirus Vaccination of Adolescents with Chronic Medical Conditions: A National Survey of Pediatric Subspecialists

摘要

Study Objective: Many adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMCs) are at risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, associated complications, and underimmunization and often identify a pediatric subspecialist as their main provider. This study aimed to assess the HPV-related understanding, beliefs, and practices of pediatric subspecialists, which are largely unknown.
