Though vaccine uptake and public support have risen since the release of the first HPV vaccines, the United States has far lower initiation and completion rates for the HPV vaccine series in comparison to other vaccines indicated for youth. Disparities are even greater in the Appalachian regions. Understanding factors contributing to these discrepancies is vital to improving vaccine rates in Appalachia. A comprehensive literature search identified all articles pertaining to HPV vaccination in children and adolescents living in Appalachia. The final 15 articles were included in a systematic review of the topic.
尽管自首批 HPV 疫苗问世以来，疫苗接种率和公众支持率有所上升，但与其他推荐给青少年的疫苗相比，美国 HPV 疫苗系列的接种启动率和完成率要低得多。在阿巴拉契亚地区，这种差异甚至更大。了解导致这些差异的因素对于提高阿巴拉契亚地区的疫苗接种率至关重要。全面的文献检索确定了所有与生活在阿巴拉契亚地区的儿童和青少年 HPV 疫苗接种相关的文章。最后有 15 篇文章被纳入对该主题的系统评价。
