Several U.S. health organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, now encourage primary care professionals to recommend HPV vaccination before the traditionally targeted ages of 11-12 years as a strategy to increase vaccination timeliness. To understand the feasibility of this approach, we sought to evaluate primary care professionals’ current recommendation timing and willingness to recommend HPV vaccination at age 9. A national sample of 1,047 primary care professionals completed our online survey in 2021. Respondents were physicians (71%), advanced practitioners (17%), and nurses (12%). About one-fifth (21%) of primary care professionals reported that they already routinely recommend HPV vaccination at ages 9-10. Among the remaining 822 respondents, over half (61%) reported being somewhat or more willing to start recommending at age 9. Willingness was higher among those working in family medicine versus pediatrics (aOR: 1.40, 95% CI 1.03, 1.92), but lower among those with ≥20 years of practice experience versus ≤9 years (aOR: 0.65, 95% CI 0.44, 0.96). Many primary care professionals believed age 9 recommendations would have the advantage of protecting adolescents before HPV exposure (67%) or increasing vaccination timeliness (55%). The most commonly perceived disadvantage was that parents are not ready to talk about HPV vaccination at age 9 (73%). Over two-thirds of primary care professionals in our national sample reported they recommend HPV vaccination at ages 9-10 or are somewhat or more willing to do so. Training may be needed to help primary care professionals address perceived parental hesitancy toward age 9 recommendations.
