Abstract
Recent advances in human papillomavirus (HPV) science have led to updates to national HPV vaccine recommendations. This column takes a second look at two recent studies that provide evidence to support the current two-dose HPV vaccination schedule for youth ages 9 to 14 years. This short review will help nurses and other clinicians understand the health and economic benefits of the current dosing recommendation. Nurses are leaders in national vaccination efforts; therefore, it is vital that they remain up to date on the latest evidence that supports vaccination practice as well as health counseling and HPV vaccine recommendations.
