Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination Compliance in a Military Aviation Training Community.

CONCLUSIONS: Electronic health records immunizations review noted a baseline vaccine completion rate of 19%. Our study showed a health inequity between enlisted and officers, with officers having 99% of the documented baseline completion rates per AHLTA data. Our prospective analysis noted statistically significant rate differences of 13.66% and rate ratios of 5.61 between intervention and control groups. This analysis of AHLTA data combined with survey response of 50.5% indicating a change in opinion about HPV vaccine use among those who had not yet started vaccine series suggests targeted education would be a low-cost intervention to improve HPV vaccine use rates.
