Position Statement on HPV Vaccination Schedule

On January 5, 2026, the Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services accepted a major revision to the standing U.S. childhood and adolescent immunization schedule which, among other changes, reduced the recommendation for human papillomavirus (HPV) from a two or three dose series to a single dose for all children.

Given the body of evidence at this time and in the interest of effective cancer prevention, the Nevada Cancer Coalition will continue to recommend the multi-dose HPV vaccine schedule in alignment with American Cancer Society (ACS), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), State of Nevada, and as informed by immunization partners across Nevada.
