The aim is to bring about measurable increases in the number of providers assessing vaccination needs for their patients and recommending vaccination for their patients. Activities should work toward the short term and mid-term outcomes as they are most likely to be met in the time allowed and able to be measured.The primary purpose of this FOA in the first two budget periods is to increase HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents by utilizing professional education, outreach, and training, as well as other clinician tools to effectively help providers consistently make strong HPV vaccine recommendations and effectively address parental questions about HPV-related cancers and HPV vaccine.
