the effectiveness of a physician's recommendation for the hpv vaccine also contributes to low vaccination rates and controversy surrounding the vaccine. a 2015 study of national physician communication and support for the hpv vaccine found physicians routinely recommend hpv vaccines less strongly than they recommend tdap or meningitis vaccines, find the discussion about hpv to be long and burdensome, and discuss the hpv vaccine last, after all other vaccines. researchers suggest these factors discourage patients and parents from setting up timely hpv vaccines. in order to increase vaccination rates, this issue must be addressed and physicians should be better trained to handle discussing the importance of the hpv vaccine with patients and their families.
