Disparities in Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Completion Rates Among Females in an Integrated Health Care System.
CONCLUSION: More than half of the females who initiated HPV vaccination did not complete the series, and black and Hispanic patients were least likely to have completed the series. Among Hispanic patients, the highest acculturated group had the lowest completion rate. These disparities emphasize the need for cancer prevention across all racial and ethnic groups.
