HPV Vaccination at the Time of Abortion Visit: A Quality Improvement Initiative

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a workflow designed to increase HPV vaccination counseling and uptake among underserved patients visiting an abortion clinic. Their study found that after implementing the workflow, counseling rates for the HPV vaccine rose significantly from 23.8% to 68.7%, and the percentage of patients receiving at least one vaccine dose increased from 6.8% to 34%. This initiative highlights the potential of abortion care settings to improve HPV vaccination rates, particularly in populations at higher risk for cervical cancer.
