Background
Adolescent vaccine coverage rates fall below Healthy
People 2020 goals
Are well‐visits being utilized for vaccination?
What do parents/patients think about vaccines?
How do providers prioritize vaccination with other
preventive services?
What do providers think about adolescent vaccines?
Adolescent Vaccine Project Overview
Data Collection Activities
Surveys with patients (11‐17 y.o.) and parents (of 11‐13 y.o.)
Chart Verification of survey participants
General Chart Review of clinic population
Key Informant Interviews with physicians (n=9)
Participating Clinics
Medical Groups, Private Practice, Community Clinics
Pediatric, Teen, Family Medicine
Participants
Surveys
871 respondents (11‐13 years: 428, 14‐17 years: 443)
White: 40%, Black: 4%, Asian: 9%, Hispanic: 39%, Other: 8%
General Chart Review
925
records (11‐13 years: 458, 14‐17 years: 464)
Private Insurance 70%, Public Insurance 30%
1 well‐visit during a 12‐month period 97%
Chart Reviews (n=922): Vaccine Coverage Rates
Patient Surveys (n=680): Vaccine Refusals
48 Respondents Refused ≥1 Vaccine (7.1%)
No statistically significant findings
between age groups

Patient Surveys: Reasons for Vaccine Refusal
Parent believed adolescent was too young for the
vaccine refused
Parent and/or adolescent did not believe vaccine was
necessary
Parent believed adolescent had received too many
vaccines that day
Parent had concerns about vaccine safety
Adolescent was afraid shots would hurt

Physician Interviews: Recommendation of HPV
7/9 report recommending HPV to 11‐13 year olds
equally as strongly as other adolescent vaccines
8 of 9 reported having strategies to complete the HPV
series
0/9 described a strategy implemented by the clinic

Physicians were given different patient scenarios (e.g. patients
with acute vs
chronic disease) and asked to rank, in priority, the
activities performed during well‐visits
Well‐Visit Activity Options
Patient Questions
Physical Exam
Vaccinations
Anticipatory Guidance
Vaccines consistently ranked 3rd
in priority
Answering patient questions & physical exams were higher priority
Anticipatory guidance was equal or lower priority
Physician Interviews (n=9): Prioritization of Well‐Visit Activities
Conclusions
Improvement in adherence to EBP for vaccine
delivery needed in clinics
Vaccine refusals continue, especially with HPV,
although this sample did not have high incidence of refusals
Vaccines are not high on the priority list of activities
for the physician to complete during well‐visits
