Abstract

Providers’ attitudes toward male human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination may influence the implementation of new guidelines. Although 24 of 31 (77%) Pediatric and Family Medicine providers interviewed between 2009 and 2010 favored vaccinating males, only 3 (12%) offered vaccination. Providers who did not offer vaccination felt that parents would not be interested in vaccinating sons and were largely unaware of serious HPV-related disease in males.
