Despite the effectiveness and availability of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, HPV remains the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and has the lowest initiation rate of any routinely recommended teen vaccine. In January 2015, we surveyed parents at a Southern California pediatric private practice about reasons they accept or refuse HPV vaccine for their children. Of the 200 consecutive parents that had HPV vaccine initiation recommended for their child, 123 (61.5%) children were male and 38.5% were female. The overall age range of children was 10-17 years (median 12 years). Of the 164 (82.0%) who accepted the vaccine, a higher percentage were male (88.6% vs 71.4%, p=0.001). The most common reasons for accepting was strength of provider recommendation (84.1%) and available information (63.4%). The most common (52.8%) reason for refusing was wanting to learn more about the vaccine. These results further support the importance of both the strength of physician recommendation and improving public education about the vaccine.
尽管人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗具有有效性且可获取，但HPV仍是美国最常见的性传播感染，并且在所有常规推荐给青少年的疫苗中，其接种率最低。2015年1月，我们在南加州一家儿科私人诊所对家长进行了调查，了解他们为孩子接受或拒绝HPV疫苗的原因。在连续200名被建议为孩子接种HPV疫苗的家长中，123名（61.5%）孩子为男性，38.5%为女性。孩子的总体年龄范围是10至17岁（中位数为12岁）。在接受疫苗的164名（82.0%）家长中，男性比例更高（88.6%对71.4%，p = 0.001）。接受疫苗的最常见原因是医生推荐力度大（84.1%）和有可用信息（63.4%）。拒绝疫苗最常见的原因（52.8%）是想更多地了解该疫苗。这些结果进一步支持了医生推荐力度以及改善公众对该疫苗教育的重要性。
