Patterns of Use of Human Papillomavirus and Other Adolescent Vaccines in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to describe the patterns of use of universally recommended adolescent vaccines in the United States.

Methods

We identified 11-year-olds using the MarketScan insurance claims database (2009-2014). Human papillomavirus (HPV), tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap), and meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccination claims were identified using diagnosis and procedure codes. Generalized linear models estimated vaccination incidence rates and correlates of adolescent vaccination and timely vaccination.

Results

Among 1,691,223 adolescents, receipt of Tdap (52.1%) and MenACWY (45.8%) vaccinations exceeded receipt of HPV vaccination (18.4%). While both sexes had similar Tdap and MenACWY vaccination proportions, girls received HPV vaccination
