Stories about HPV vaccine in social media, traditional media, and conversations.
To understand how stories from media and social interactions shape parents' HPV vaccination decisions, the authors sought to characterize parents' exposure to these stories, as well as associations between story exposure and vaccination behavior. They found that stories of HPV vaccine harms may be associated more strongly with vaccination behavior than stories of HPV vaccine preventable diseases. They recommended that communication campaigns consider strategies to elevate stories of preventable diseases in social and traditional media.

Support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination: national surveys of U.S. physicians and parents.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2018 Aug;27(8):970-78. doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.Epi-18-0380.
State laws about pharmacists providing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines vary considerably, limiting many pharmacists' ability to provide this important cancer prevention service. In this study, the investigators characterized physician and parent support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination for adolescents who are past due for vaccination. The authors concluded that to increase support for HPV vaccination services, pharmacists should raise awareness about their immunization training and standardize vaccination protocols that ensure coordination with primary care.
