Which of the following HPV protocols is correct?
  1. Boys and girls age 9-14 should receive three doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) six to twelve months apart
  2. Boys and girls age 9-14 should receive two doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) six to twelve months apart
  3. Boys and girls should not receive 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) until age 15
Explanation
Answer: B - According to CDC guidelines, boys and girls age 9-14 should receive two doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) six to twelve months apart.
One dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine is not sufficient to confer immunity. Three doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine are no longer required to confer immunity for children in this age group. Children do not have to wait until age 15 to be vaccinated.
