Stacey Griner, PhD, MPH, RDH
The presentation focuses on the role that oral health providers, such as dental hygienists, may have as alternative providers of HPV vaccine recommendations. We discuss their ability to reduce missed HPV vaccine opportunities and present information about HPV vaccine uptake and oral health providers in Texas. We then discuss an ongoing project with two goals: 1) to educate dental hygienists about advocating for the HPV vaccine, and 2) increase HPV vaccine implementation into the dental setting through community-based immunization events.
Learning Objectives:
After this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the role dental hygienists may have in improving HPV vaccine uptake.
- Describe the current rates of HPV vaccination in Texas.
- Summarize the process of implementing immunization events in community-based oral health settings.
