► We focus on an underserved population of low-income, ethnic minority girls ► We examine geographic proximity to HPV vaccination services within safety-net clinics ► Over 80% of girls live near a clinic with HPV vaccination services for free or low cost ► Distance and transportation time to nearest clinic differ by race/ethnicity ► Age of adolescent girl and insurance status remain important correlates of vaccine initiation.
