ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been routinely recommended at age 11-12?years in the United States for females since 2006 and males since 2011. Coverage can be estimated using self/parent-reported HPV vaccination collected in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for a wider age range than other national surveys. We assessed vaccination coverage in 2015-2016, temporal trends by age, and the validity of self/parent-reported vaccination status. METHODS:Participants aged 9-59?years completed an interview collecting demographic and vaccination information. Weighted coverage was estimated for two-year NHANES cycles by age group for 2007-2008 to 2015-2016 for females (N?=?14318) and 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 for males (N?=?7847). Temporal trends in coverage were assessed from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 for females and from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 for both sexes. Sensitivity and specificity of self/parent-reported vaccination were assessed using provider-verified vaccination records from a pilot study in 14-29?year-olds. RESULTS:In 2015-2016, ?1 dose coverage among females was highest in 14-19 (54.7%) and 20-24 (56.0%) year-olds and lower in successively older age groups. Among males, ?1 dose coverage was highest in 14-19?year-olds (39.5%) and lower at older ages. Coverage was similar in 9-13?year-old females and males. Between 2007-2008 and 2011-2012, there were increases among females younger than 30?years. Between 2011-2012 and 2015-2016, there were increases among female age groups including 20-39?year-olds; male coverage increased among ages 9-13, 14-19, and 20-24?years. Self/parent-reported receipt of ?1 dose had a sensitivity and specificity of 87.0% and 83.3%. Performance was lower for 3 doses. CONCLUSIONS:While overall HPV vaccination coverage remains low, it is higher in females than males, except in 9-13?year-olds. There have been increases in coverage among many age groups, but coverage has stalled in younger females. Adequate validity was demonstrated for self/parent-reported vaccination of ?1 dose, but not 3 doses, in a pilot study.
