Vaccines are more important than ever, but false theories about their dangers continue to circulate online. These rumors and conspiracy theories erode the public trust in the safety and effectiveness of all vaccines. Social media companies have been working to remove false and misleading information about vaccines from their sites, but misinformation is difficult to stop. Many rumors are spread by people who may not realize they are sharing questionable claims, and are sharing them to be helpful without realizing the harm they are doing.

Administrative Supplements for NCI-Designated Cancer Centers to Support Collaborations to Enhance HPV Vaccination in Pediatric Settings: A Summary Report

In July 2014, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences issued a funding opportunity announcement for an administrative supplement for NCI-designated cancer centers to promote collaborations between the cancer centers and state/local cancer coalitions and HPV immunization programs.* The short-term goals for the one-year supplement were to: (1) conduct an environmental scan and (2) develop/enhance linkages with existing coalitions and programs, with a focus on HPV vaccine uptake in pediatric care settings. The long-term goal is for cancer centers to utilize collaborations enhanced through the supplement to develop or expand applied research to increase HPV vaccination.

The 18 cancer centers that received the HPV vaccination supplement are listed in Table 1. This report provides an overview of the activities of the supplement recipients, including collaborations among grantees, environmental scan activities, and the formation of linkages between cancer centers and local and regional partners (e.g., immunization and cancer control coalitions). Key findings of the environmental scans also are presented, as are efforts by grantees to disseminate and build upon the work funded by the supplement.

Report: Strengthening the Effectiveness of National, State, and Local Efforts to Improve HPV Vaccination Coverage in the United States: Recommendations From the National Vaccine Advisory Committee

In February 2018, recognizing the suboptimal rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in the United States, the assistant secretary for health of the US Department of Health and Human Services charged the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) with providing recommendations on how to strengthen the effectiveness of national, state, and local efforts to improve HPV vaccination coverage rates. In the same month, the NVAC established the HPV Vaccination Implementation Working Group and assigned it to develop these recommendations. The working group sought advice from federal and non-federal partners.

This NVAC report recommends ways to improve HPV vaccination coverage rates by focusing on 4 areas of activity: (1) identifying additional national partners, (2) guiding coalition building for states, (3) engaging integrated health care delivery networks, and (4) addressing provider needs in rural areas. Released Aug. 2018.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all boys and girls receive the HPV at age 11 or 12 when the immune response to the vaccine is optimal. This activity provides compelling stories of several individuals fighting cervical cancer. Expert physicians from around the world provide the scientific and medical background related to the disease process and prevention provided by the HPV vaccine.
