HPV Vaccine Toolkit
Please Note: In 2016, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) changed the recommendations for the HPV vaccine from 3 doses to 2 doses for younger adolescents (ages 9 through 14). Please be aware that some of the resources may still refer to the old 3 dose schedule. Thank you.

Announcement/Presumptive Language
Announcement or Presumptive Language is stating that a child is due for vaccines and assuming that the parent is ready to vaccinate. This essentially ends the conversation at the announcement point unless the parent has any further questions. The goal of this is to increase vaccination rates for adolescent vaccines.
