The human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely common. The HPV vaccine provides protection from six types of cancer. However, Texas lags behind the US average, leaving Texas adolescents unprotected from HPV related cancers. Additionally, the HPV vaccine underperforms compared to other ACIP recommended vaccines, including Tdap and MenACWY. Pharmacists are a trusted source for health information, are highly accessible and are authorized to administer immunizations. The American Cancer Society (ACS) is seeking Texas pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to join a two part learning series focused on providing current HPV vaccination information, strategies to increase awareness of HPV vaccination and tools to increase utilization of evidence based interventions to increase HPV vaccination in pharmacies. Learning Outcomes: *Discuss the importance of HPV vaccination *Identify key points around HPV infection, related cancers, and vaccination rates *Describe communication strategies for HPV vaccination *Identify pharmacy solutions to vaccination barriers *Review evidence-based interventions to increase HPV vaccinations in your pharmacy *Explain how to increase on-time HPV vaccination rates
