Description
For female sample adults age 18 to 64 and female sample children age 8 to 17, HPVACHAD indicates whether the individual ever received the HPV vaccine, and, for negative responses, those who volunteered the information that their doctor refused to approve vaccination when asked. Those who answered "Yes" were asked how many HPV shots they had received (HPVACNO).
According to the CDC website on HPV, "The HPV vaccine is routinely recommended for 11 and 12 year-old girls. The vaccine series can be started at 9 years of age. Catch-up vaccination is recommended for 13 through 26 year-old females who have not yet received the vaccine series." The vaccine is administered in 3 intra-muscular injections given over 6 months.
Related Variables
Persons who did not respond affirmatively to HPVACHAD were asked a series of questions about their interest in the vaccine and the barriers (such as cost) to vaccination.
Specifically, these questions (and their associated IHIS questions) are:
- Ever heard about HPV vaccine (HPVACHEAR)
(2008 children and adults; 2009 adults only)
- Interested in HPV vaccine (HPVACINT)
(2008 adults only)
- Would get HPV shot if recommended (HPVACGETREC)
(2008 children only)
- Main reason would not receive HPV vaccine (HPVACNOWHY)
(2008 children and adults)
- Would get HPV vaccine if cost 350 to 500 dollars (HPVACGET50)
(2008 children and adults)
- Would SC get HPV vaccine if it were free/at a lower cost (HPVACGETFRE)
(2008 children and adults)
