We examined racial and ethnic differences in HPV vaccination initiation over time. We examined the role of health provider recommendations in reducing racial and ethnic inequalities in HPV vaccination uptake. Provider recommendations to vaccinate and HPV vaccination uptake have increased over time for all adolescents. Among girls, minority youths have seen a sharper increase in provider recommendations and HPV vaccination uptake. Among boys, Hispanics have lagged behind non-Hispanic Whites in the rate of provider recommendations and HPV vaccinations.
