To examine correlates of vaccine series completion among young adolescent US girls who initiated the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
We analyzed National Immunization Survey-Teens 2012 provider-verified data to examine correlates of HPV vaccine completion among 13- to 17-year-old girls who initiated HPV vaccine in 2012 (N = 4548).
The weighted vaccine series completion rate among 13- to 17-year-old girl initiators was 66.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 64.0-69.3). Adolescent girls who were older, residents of the Northeast (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.36; 95% CI, 1.07-1.73), and had provider-verified seasonal influenza vaccination in the past year (aPR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.32-2.11) and provider recommendation (aPR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.10-1.77) were more likely to complete the 3-dose vaccine series.
Parents of younger adolescent girls need to be educated about the importance of completing the 3-dose HPV vaccine series. Provider recommendation for the vaccine would also facilitate series completion.
研究开始接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗的美国年轻少女完成疫苗全程接种的相关因素。
我们分析了2012年全国青少年免疫调查中经医疗机构核实的数据，以研究2012年开始接种HPV疫苗的13至17岁女孩完成HPV疫苗接种的相关因素（N = 4548）。
13至17岁开始接种疫苗的女孩的加权疫苗全程接种率为66.7%（95%置信区间[CI]，64.0 - 69.3）。年龄较大、居住在东北部的少女（调整患病率比[aPR]，1.36；95% CI，1.07 - 1.73），以及过去一年经医疗机构核实接种过季节性流感疫苗的少女（aPR，1.67；95% CI，1.32 - 2.11）和有医疗机构推荐的少女（aPR，1.40；95% CI，1.10 - 1.77）更有可能完成3剂疫苗接种。
需要对年龄较小的少女的父母进行教育，让他们了解完成3剂HPV疫苗接种的重要性。医疗机构对该疫苗的推荐也将有助于完成全程接种。
