Reported HPV vaccination rates were low for both white and minority patients but did not significantly vary on univariate or multivariate analysis. However, minority respondents were significantly less knowledgeable about HPV and its manifestations; they most often cited inadequate knowledge as why did not receive or were uninterested in HPV vaccination. As such, HPV vaccination educational interventions may raise vaccination rates among minority populations.
