Integrating Routine HPV Vaccination into Pediatric Oncology Practice: Year 2 Training Update-Enduring

Educational Need:

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) represent a particularly high-risk population. Compared to the general population, CCS experience significantly higher rates of HPV-related malignancies. Despite these increased risks, CCS have very low HPV vaccination rates. Many CCS do not transition back to a general pediatrician for preventive care, instead seeing only their oncologist. Because oncologists do not routinely provide vaccines for their patients, CCS may not be offered the HPV vaccine despite their increased risk for future HPV-related malignancies. Higher risk of HPV-related malignancies and lower rates of vaccination make CCS a particularly vulnerable population in critical need of intervention.

Description:

Introduce and train medical staff to use the “HPV IQ” tool as a method for HPV vaccine recommendation, adapted to the childhood cancer survivorship setting. Material includes relevance and need for HPV vaccination in this population.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand basic information about the HPV vaccine and its recommendations for use in adolescents
  • Understand the low HPV vaccination rates at the national, state, and local levels
  • Understand the potential impact of the HPV vaccine and public health burden of HPV-related disease
  • Understand the need for and barriers to HPV vaccination among childhood cancer survivors
  • Understand an evidence-based intervention for HPV vaccine delivery
  • Develop a systematic and sensitive approach to address parental concerns regarding the HPV vaccine
