Sensitivity of Self-Reported Human Papillomavirus Vaccination History Among 18- to 26-Year-Old Men Who Have Sex With Men: Seattle, WA, 2016 to 2018

Background We assessed the sensitivity of self-reported human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among young adult men who have sex with men (MSM) with documented HPV vaccination. Methods During 2016–2018, MSM and transgender women aged 18 to 26 years were enrolled in Seattle, WA. A history of HPV vaccination was assessed via self-administered survey, clinic electronic medical records, and the Washington State Immunization Information System.

Results Of 292 participants with ≥1 documented HPV vaccine dose, 243 self-reported ≥1 dose (sensitivity, 83.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 78.4%–87.3%). Compared with participants whose first dose was
