AJMC: HPV Vaccine Uptake in ACOs and Non-ACOs: 5 Takeaways

  1. Mean rate of HPV vaccine initiation: 53% overall; 51% among boys; 55% among girls
  2. Mean rate of HPV vaccine completion among those who initiated the vaccine: 69% overall; 67% among boys; 70% among girls
  3. Adolescents receiving care at ACOs vs non-ACOs were 80% more likely to receive initial HPV vaccination and 12% more likely to complete the HPV vaccine series
  4. Among adolescents receiving care in ACOs, providers were responsible for 14% of variability in HPV vaccine initiation and 10% of variability in HPV vaccine completion
  5. Among adolescents receiving care in ACOs, ACOs were responsible for less than 1% of variability in HPV vaccine initiation and completion.
Notes: Results of a retrospective cohort study of 23,911 adolescents receiving care from 933 ACO-attributable providers and 923 non–ACO-attributable providers.
