Activity Description

The 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (9vHPV) is a second-generation, noninfectious, recombinant vaccine available in the United States and indicated for the management and prevention of infections, diseases, or cancers caused by both low-risk and high-risk HPV types, including 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. HPVs are the leading sexually transmitted viruses responsible for precancerous and cancerous lesions. The 9vHPV has been licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2014 and is classified as a preventive immunization.

The exact mechanism of action of 9vHPV remains unclear, as HPV only affects humans, which poses challenges for research. However, researchers hypothesize that the vaccine operates by triggering the humoral response. This activity comprehensively examines the indications, actions, and contraindications of the 9vHPV vaccine as a crucial tool in managing and preventing HPV infection and associated diseases. Furthermore, this activity underscores the mechanism of action, adverse event profile, and other essential considerations regarding administering the 9vHPV vaccine, which is crucial for clinicians in delivering HPV immunization to patients effectively.


Target Audience

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify individuals eligible for the human papillomavirus vaccine (9vHPV) based on current guidelines, considering age, gender, and other relevant factors.

  • Differentiate between the various human papillomavirus vaccines (HPV) available, including the bivalent, quadrivalent, and 9-valent formulations, based on their indications, dosing schedules, and target HPV types.

  • Implement evidence-based protocols for administering the human papillomavirus vaccine, ensuring adherence to recommended dosing schedules and administration routes.

  • Collaborate with other healthcare providers, such as pharmacists, nurses, and public health officials, to promote human papillomavirus vaccination initiatives and ensure comprehensive vaccination coverage within the community.
