Abstract

Sienko, -HPV.Vaccination.Roundtable@cancer.org 2 2. At least three to five years later, after routinely implemented statewide usage, the Rhode Island DOH considers requiring the vaccination for school attendance. 3. The Rhode Island Vaccine Advisory Committee reviews the vaccine and makes a recommendation for its requirement to the Director of Health. 4. The Director of Health meets with the Health Regulation Committee for approval to proceed with the public hearing. 5. The recommendation is subject to community review. 6. A public hearing is scheduled. From start to finish, this process took about three years for the health department to implement the HPV vaccine as a school requirement, which is a little longer than normal due to the controversy surrounding the vaccine. At the time considerations began, Rhode Island already had the highest HPV coverage rate in the nation. III. Timeline 2012: Considerations regarding an HPV vaccine requirement begin. 2013: The Rhode Island Vaccine Advisory Committee formally recommends the vaccine to the Director of the RIDOH. ▪ The committee receives information on vaccine safety and efficacy, acceptability and current coverage rates (the highest in the nation) to support its recommendation. ▪ The committee agrees to make a recommendation and the Director of Health decides to move forward with a proposal to add the HPV vaccine to school immunization requirements. January 2014: The public hearing is held at 3:30 on a Monday. A small number of people show up, some of which were supporters, and there is little opposition. July 2014: The vaccine is officially added to the RIDOH regulations. The regulation does not go into effect for a year to give providers, school nurses, teachers and parents time to acclimate. August 2015: The program begins, and incoming seventh graders are required to have the first dose of the HPV vaccine. IV. Backlash
