HPV Vaccination Initiation and Completion Among Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors and a Comparison Population Sample Receiving Primary Care.

ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations can reduce pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (PAYA) cancer survivors' susceptibility to HPV-related subsequent cancers. We examined differences in HPV vaccination initiation and completion among a Utah-based cohort of PAYA cancer survivors and a cancer-free population sample. Participants received primary care at 1 of 2 health care systems during study follow-up: 2006-2016. Vaccination records were identified from these health care systems, statewide vaccination records, and an all-payer claims database. HPV vaccination initiation (1 dose) and completion (3 doses) were compared between cancer survivors (N=1579) and age-matched and sex-matched cancer-free population sample (N=4513). Individuals were 9 to 21 years old at cohort entry. Mixed-effect
