HPV vaccination rates in Virginia are comparable to rates at the national level; In 2023, approximately 66% of boys and 59% of girls ages 13-17 in Virginia were up to date on their HPV vaccinations.

Steps your health center can take to support HPV vaccination rates:

• Recommend HPV vaccines for all patients aged 9 years through 26 years of age. Engage in shared clinical decision making with adults 27-45 regarding the vaccine’s benefits given their individual circumstance.
• Promote HPV vaccine administration alongside other routine vaccinations. Encourage same day vaccination in your facility.
• Leverage your local pharmacy to deliver vaccinations. If you are not able to stock vaccines at your facility, e-prescribe/prescribe to the pharmacy.
• Provide reminders to those who are not up to date.

Additional Resources:

• The Virginia Department of Health’s (VDH) Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program provides free HPV vaccines for all VFC eligible children. You can learn more about the VFC Program on the VDH Website. Most health insurance plans cover the HPV vaccine through age 26.
