An Ecological Analysis of <scp>HPV</scp> Vaccination in the United States Before and During the <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 Pandemic by Age, Sex, and Urbanicity Using Private Insurance Claims Data
During the COVID-19 pandemic, HPV vaccine administration dropped substantially and had not exceeded the pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022, with larger declines seen among male adolescents and young adults in rural areas. Our results highlight the need for continuing monitoring and targeted intervention strategies to improve HPV vaccine administration.
