The current lack of school entry requirements for HPV vaccination is an important influence on clinicians' recommendations that are often framed as optional or non-urgent. Efforts are needed to strengthen the quality of clinicians' recommendations in a way that remains strong and focused on disease prevention yet uncoupled from the lack of requirements that may encourage delays. Additionally, greater support for requirements among clinicians may be needed to successfully enact requirements in the future.
