In the provinces of Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia,[90] free vaccinations to protect women against HPV were slated to begin in September 2007 and will be offered to girls ages 11–14. Similar vaccination programs are being planned in British Columbia and Quebec.[91][92][93] 美国 As of late 2007, about one quarter of US females age 13–17 years had received at least one of the three HPV shots.[113] By 2014, the proportion of such females receiving a vaccination had risen to 38%.[114] The government began recommending vaccination for boys in 2011; by 2014, the vaccination rate among boys (at least one dose) had reached 35%.[114] According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting as many girls vaccinated as early and as quickly as possible will reduce the cases of cervical cancer among middle-aged women in 30 to 40 years and reduce the transmission of this highly communicable infection. Barriers include the limited understanding by many people that HPV causes cervical cancer, the difficulty of getting pre-teens and teens into the doctor's office to get a shot, and the high cost of the vaccine ($120/dose, $360 total for the three required doses, plus the cost of doctor visits).[1] [115]

This program covers vaccine costs for children and teens who don’t have insurance and for some children and teens who are underinsured. The VFC program provides free vaccines to children and teens younger than 19 years of age, who are either Medicaid-eligible, American Indian or Alaska Native, or uninsured. There are over 44,000 sites nationwide that provide VFC vaccines, including hospitals and private and public clinics. The VFC program also allows children and teens to get VFC vaccines through federally qualified health centers or rural health centers if their private health insurance does not cover vaccinations.
