Abstract
⺠We assessed HPV vaccine initiation in a population-based sample of adolescents. ⺠Only 14% of boys had initiated HPV vaccine compared to 44% of girls. ⺠For both sexes, initiation correlated with age and use of meningococcal vaccine. ⺠For boys, initiation correlated with lower income and non-black/non-white race. ⺠For girls, initiation was associated with public school attendance.
