Abstract
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for 26,900 cancer cases each year in the USA, but not all teenagers are vaccinated against it. This project examines vaccine initiation rates before and after implementation of a multi-modal protocol at a nurse-run immunization clinic. Rates increased with use of same way/same day recommendations.
